Footage has emerged showing some of the last movements of those who died after a suspected cyanide poisoning at a Bangkok hotel.
The CCTV video, focusing on an internal courtyard, captures five of the six victims at the luxury Grand Hyatt Erawan hotel in Thailand.
It initially shows a man, one of the guests, jogging across the courtyard ahead of the others.
He is followed by four other members of the group, who go through the same doorway.
Two other men, who appear to be members of staff, carry deliveries to the same door as well.
The footage was taken on Monday, and shows some of their latest known movements on the same day they were last seen alive.
On Wednesday, local police said traces of cyanide had been found in cups and two teapots in the hotel room and that poisoning was the most likely cause of death.

The four Vietnamese nationals and two Vietnamese Americans were found by a hotel staff member in the room, which was locked from the inside.
Food had been ordered by room service, but it had been left untouched aside from the drinks which had been consumed.
Four of the bodies were found in the living room and two others in the bedroom.
Police said that two of the victims appeared to have tried to make it to the door, but collapsed and died.
Hotel records showed there were no other visitors to the room.
Police Lieutenant General Trairong Phiwpan, head of the Thai police force’s forensic division, told a news conference on Wednesday one of the six is believed to be the one who committed the murders.
“After staff brought teacups and two hot water bottles, milk and teapots… one of the six introduced cyanide,” he said.
