Australian families condemn secret $185 fines for hostel staff over evidence destruction in teens' 2024 Laos methanol deaths, citing lack of transparency and justice.
The families of two Australian teens, Bianca Jones and Holly Morton-Bowles, who died in a 2024 methanol poisoning at a Laos hostel, condemn a secret court ruling that fined 10 staff $185 each for destroying evidence, calling the penalties inadequate.
They learned of the verdict through other victims’ families, not Australian officials, and express frustration over lack of transparency and diplomatic action.
No charges have been filed in connection with the teens’ deaths, while a distillery owner may face future legal action.
The hostel has reopened under a new name.
