Families Left in the Dark After Methanol Deaths The families of Australian backpackers Holly Morton Bowles and Bianca Jones, who tragically died after consuming methanol laced shots at a hostel in Vang Vieng, Laos, are struggling to navigate the country's opaque justice system.
The Laotian authorities' behavior towards these grieving families is not only contemptuous but also raises serious questions about their willingness to hold those responsible accountable.
The Australian government has repeatedly requested information on the investigation and potential prosecutions from the Laotian authorities, including the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).
