Recently, the police in Laos have taken three more employees into custody from a hostel that is suspected to be the cause of a tragic incident. It is believed that the hostel served drinks contaminated with methanol, which resulted in the deaths of six tourists. This is a developing situation and investigations are still ongoing. As of now, it has been reported that a total of 11 staff members from the Nana Backpacker Hostel in Vang Vieng have been arrested.
The incident has caused shock and disbelief among the community, especially after the tragic deaths of two teenagers from Melbourne, Holly Bowles and Bianca Jones. The two friends passed away within hours of each other in a hospital in Thailand. Their bodies have since been brought back to Australia. The identities of the four other victims have also been revealed - James Louis Hutson, a man from the US, Simone White, a lawyer from Britain, and Anne-Sofie Orkild Coyman and Frela Vennervald Sorensen, two young women from Denmark.
It has also been confirmed that a third Australian fell ill from the contaminated drinks, but is currently recovering in a stable condition in a hospital. In light of these tragic events, the urgent search for a missing sex offender in Melbourne has understandably taken a backseat. The community is still coming to terms with the loss of these innocent lives.
It has been determined that the source of the deadly outbreak is a factory located outside of Vientiane. The factory was producing Tiger Vodka and Tiger Whisky, which are now believed to have been contaminated with methanol. The factory has been shut down and the owner has been arrested. In response to this tragedy, Laos has banned the sale and consumption of these products, and the Australian government has also issued a warning to its citizens in Laos to avoid consuming them due to safety concerns.
The investigation into this incident is ongoing, with authorities working tirelessly to uncover the full extent of the situation. As more details emerge, the community is left mourning the loss of these six lives and hoping for a swift resolution to this tragedy.
