POISONED IN LAOS STILL NO ANSWERS, ONE YEAR ON

For the grief-stricken families of Bianca Jones and Holly Morton-Bowles, no justice will ever be enough to bring back their beloved girls. But answers on who was responsible for their deaths will go a small way in helping them move forward.

The Melbourne teens were killed in a mass methanol poisoning in Laos in November 2024. Twelve months on, Holly and Bianca's parents are demanding action amid claims of a police cover-up. It is not clear whether anyone has been charged over their deaths.

“No family should ever have to go through this. To date, no individual or organisation has been held accountable,” Mark and Michelle Jones told The Daily Telegraph. “[Bianca’s] killers remain free, facing no consequences. With little to no information coming from the Laotian authorities to the families or their governments, it appears these deaths of innocent young women may be forgotten, brushed aside and left unresolved. We must have justice. At the very least, they deserve that.”
