The mysterious deaths of six guests at a Bangkok hotel is a possible murder-suicide, police say.

They say one of the guests laced cups of tea with cyanide.

A room service worker delivered the tea and food to one of the group’s rooms at the Grand Hyatt Erawan hotel.

They consisted of four Vietnamese citizens and two Americans.
