Mother suspected of renting hotel, forcing daughter to commit suicide

Initially, authorities determined that the mother rented a hotel and forced her daughter to drink pesticide to commit suicide.

On the night of July 13, District 2 police, Ho Chi Minh City, were still coordinating with relevant agencies to examine the scene and conduct an autopsy to clarify the cause of the suspected suicide of a mother forcing her child to commit suicide at HS Hotel, Thanh My Loi Ward, District 2.

The 6-year-old girl involved in the incident has died. The woman believed to be the child’s mother is currently in the emergency room at Gia Dinh People’s Hospital, Binh Thanh District, in a deep coma and critical condition.

Police cordoned off the scene to examine it.

Earlier, on the morning of July 13, a woman about 35 years old brought her 6-year-old girl to the HS hotel to rent a room. From morning to evening, the mother and daughter did not appear or go out to eat, so the hotel staff became suspicious and knocked on the door. Since no one answered, the hotel staff assumed something was wrong and broke down the door.

People present at the scene were shocked to discover the mother and child lying motionless in the room, their bodies purple, their mouths salivating… the scene reeked of pesticide. Hotel staff took the mother and child to the emergency room but the child did not survive.

The police are currently investigating the case. However, according to initial investigations, it is possible that due to family problems, the mother rented a hotel room and forced her child to drink pesticide to commit suicide.
