A British woman and her South African fiance have been found dead at a holiday villa in Vietnam leaving detectives stumped over the cause. Greta Marie Otteson, 33, who enjoyed travelling, was with 36-year-old Els Arno Quinton when the tragedy happened during Christmas. They are understood to have been drinking wine at the Hoi An Silverbell villa in Hoi An Town in central Quang Nam province.
But they were then discovered dead in separate rooms by shocked resort staff who arrived to clean the property on December 26. Greta, who is believed to be from Wales, was said to have been lying in her bed lifeless in room 101. Officers then barged into Arno's locked room and also found him dead.
A Quang Nam Provincial Police spokesman said: "There were no signs of ransacking at the scene. The victims' belongings and phones were untouched." Police said there were also no signs of scratches or physical trauma inflicted on the bodies. They collected several empty liquor bottles in the room for further analysis.
Many people who knew the couple have paid tribute, with one saying: “Greta loved Arno unconditionally and was his bedrock, giving him the freedom to do what he needed to without a faltering foundation.”. They added: “There are two distinct things that are so prominent in my thoughts and that is her laugh and how much love they constantly [threw] at each other, regardless of who was around. They celebrated each other there and I know they will continue doing that, wherever they are.”.
