A British woman and her South African fiancé who were found dead at a villa in Vietnam last month were killed by methanol poisoning, their family said in a new report.

On Dec. 26, 2024, the bodies of Greta Marie Otteson, 33, and 36-year-old Arno Quinton Els' were discovered in separate rooms by staff at the Hoi An Silverbell villa in Hội An, Vietnam News previously reported.

The couple had taken out a lease on the nine-bedroom guesthouse and had been hosting guests at the property, according to U.K. newspaper The Times.

The Times reported in a story published on Saturday, Jan. 25, that Vietnamese police confirmed Els and Otteson — who moved to the country in February 2024 and had gotten engaged three weeks before their deaths — died from methanol poisoning, likely from contaminated alcohol after consuming tainted "homemade" limoncello bought from a local restaurant on Christmas Eve.

Vietnam News and The Guardian previously reported that several empty alcohol bottles had been found at the scene. The local outlet stated in a Dec. 30 article that "initial findings showed no signs of scratches or external force on the bodies," citing Quảng Nam Provincial police.

According to The Guardian, both Otteson and Els had registered for long-term temporary residence at the tourist villa since July 4, 2024.

Susan and Paul, who are from Wales but now live in Bahrain, reportedly flew to Vietnam for the couple's cremation earlier this month and have since returned to their home with their ashes, according to The Times./-
