The Laotian government has promised to bring perpetrators to justice after a mass poisoning that has killed six tourists including two Australians. 

Australians Bianca Jones and Holly Bowles, both 19, died in Thai hospitals this week after falling ill with suspected methanol poisoning. 

The pair, who were on a “trip of a lifetime” travelling across South-East Asia, are believed to have consumed tainted alcohol while staying in popular tourist hotspot Vang Vieng in Laos.
