What happened 😢. Any one elaborate!?

[@mohammedalmarri6634]

I’m close to that hotel. Basically there were 6 foreigners that died from a shooting in a luxury hotel. They don’t know if it’s either poisoning or a shooting, but there was no trace behind which is really hard for them to investigate.

有泰国黑帮暗杀的可能性。。这些拜佛的人很虚伪。

@@mouneshytube they ordered food, but food was not eaten. drinks were however consumed (maybe tea or coffee). latest reports stated that maybe its a "killing" due to 7 people must be checked-in on this suite, but only 5 checked-in and 1 of the deceased was actually not on the list of guests on the hotel reservation. as of now, there are only speculations that maybe the death is caused by poisoning because of business, or other personal reasons
