According to a Chinese restaurant owner, at 6 pm on April 20, 2019, a group of five Chinese people in a Hyundai TOP1 Black, without a number plate took five Chinese girls from the boss to sit down to drink.

This was iat Tang Datong Restaurant on Russian Highway, Chong Thnal West Village, Sangkat Teuk Thla, Khan Sen Sok.

After drinking alcohol until 9:10 pm, the suspects asked the five women to go for a short walk, and then forced them into the car.
