Laos Distillery Owner Charged in Tourist Deaths | Melbourne News

Published 5 days, 10 hours ago
Description

Laos has charged the owner of a distillery linked to a deadly 2023 methanol poisoning that killed six tourists, including two young Australian women, with operating an illegal business and selling harmful products — facing up to four years in prison and a fine, with the case open for 15 years for potential future charges. Families of the victims are outraged, calling the justice offered inadequate and demanding Australian intervention, as Australia deploys a special envoy to push for accountability, while Denmark also condemns the leniency and plans next steps with grieving families.
