Taiwan [Vietnam], July 19: Major General Witthawat Chinkham, commander of Team 5 of the Thai Metropolitan Police Department, said police are investigating whether the cyanide used in the murder was smuggled into Thailand or purchased locally.
Mr Witthawat added that police were awaiting the results of all forensic tests before deciding whether to call anyone in for further questioning.
Chanchai Sittipunt, director of Chulalongkorn Hospital in Bangkok, announced on July 18 that the autopsies of the six people involved in the case had been completed. Chanchai added that if the police do not seek further information, relatives will be allowed to claim the bodies.
