A LUXURY tourist villa in Vietnam is at the heart of a mysterious case where a British woman and her new fiance were found dead just days after they got engaged. Greta Marie Otteson, 33, believed to be from Wales and Arno Quinton Els, 36, from South Africa were found dead at the Hoi An Silverbell villa in Hoi An Town by a cleaner on Boxing Day.
It came just three weeks after the pair shared a heartwarming video on YouTube announcing their engagement. The pair arrived at the property in July and registered for a long-term temporary residence at the £105 per night villa. Their bodies were found at 11:18 am with Greta's body located in bed in room 101 and her partner's in bed in room 201 which had been locked.
Local police have said that "there were no signs of ransacking at the scene and the victims' belongings and phones were untouched.". There was no sign of trauma to either Greta or Arno. Several empty wine bottles found at the scene have been sent away for testing, cops confirmed.
A cause of death has not yet been announced and their deaths remain under investigation. The UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said: "We are supporting the family of a British woman who has died in Vietnam and are in contact with the local authorities.".
The luxury villa with its own pool has a 4.5-star rating and is located just 4.5 km from Hoi An Ancient Town, making it a popular tourist destination. Arno and Greta had met in the Middle East while travelling before deciding to spontaneously move to Vietnam.
