Russian siblings missing after motorbike ride near Pattaya

Russian siblings Diana Nazimova, 22, and Roman Nazimova, 17, have been missing since leaving their home in Huay Yai, Bang Lamung, in the early hours of 26 July. Police are examining CCTV footage showing their motorbike meeting another bike before both vanished.

The pair left at about 4am on a black Honda ADV 160, registration 4 Kor Sor 6379 Chon Buri. Roman was riding and Diana was the passenger, according to Huay Yai Police Station investigators.

Their mother, 40-year-old Zarina Naqzimova, gave further evidence to police on 28 July through an interpreter. She said the siblings had left in their normal clothes, carrying only their mobile phones, and she believed they were going to a convenience store. She reported that she received a safety alert from one of their phone.

CCTV trail leads towards motorway 7

Police said the siblings greeted a security guard as normal when they left Bristol Park village in Moo 7, Huay Yai. At 4.02am, their motorbike was recorded passing Soi Wat Thung Lahan, heading towards Ban Amphur.

At 4.21am, CCTV captured the bike near traffic lights beneath the bridge on the Map Ta Phut-Najomtien motorway 7, around six to seven kilometres from their home.

The motorbike travelled towards the toll point before Diana briefly got off and stood beside it, then got back on. They then rode the wrong way down to the frontage road, where the pair stopped to speak with people on another motorbike.

Police said the bikes remained together about two minutes, with two people on each motorcycle when they left.

Between 4.31am and 4.33am, the siblings' bike was seen travelling with the unidentified motorcycle towards Wat Yang Yai. A third bike was reportedly following about 100 metres behind before the group disappeared from CCTV coverage.

Police check possible reported debt claim link

Investigators have also received a tip from the public, that the Honda ADV 160 may have been seen with a man identified only as Mr P. The man allegedly told the witness that he was holding the vehicle as security over a 60,000-baht debt.

Police are trying to locate the man and check whether the bike was the missing siblings' vehicle and whether the claim is connected to their disappearance.

Officers said they had not ruled out any possibility, such as the pair had been under surveillance, were lured to the area, family/friend problems or other criminal activity.

Their mother said she bought a home in Huay Yai in 2018 and brought her children to live with her in 2021. The siblings attend a school in Pattaya and, she said, they speak Russian and English but not Thai.

Authorities stated that the investigation into the disappearances is ongoing.

So a witness claims to have interacted with someone who had possession of the bike after the couple went missing and obviously then, before the bike was found buried.

If it only concerned a "debt of bt60,000" then just taking the bike would have been sufficient.

Fear the worst, I'm afraid.

I just hope they are found safe, and the authorities get to the bottom of this.

Anyway, RTP seem very active on this matter,

As stated already, why are your kids allowed to leave home at 4AM?

These were not kids. There are much younger ones hawking on Walking St at that time.

Curious asks, how can a motorbike have a crash that separates the front from the back, while in the pictures all fragile parts, like there are mirrors and most of the plastic coverage, look undamaged?

In other articles on this forum it has also been stated they had been digging for 6 hours. Curious asks..........do you need 6 hours to dig a hole?

It is scrap now..so does it really matter.

Probably better to think about the missing siblings, not the bike.

If it was a 350 I would be keen on the engine if it was available, build me a Hot rod Honda Click 350!

About an hour I reckon if there was no desire to ever put it back together.

The person I responded to tried to promote a "conspiracy" that the 2 were offed because of gambling debts.

I had originally said I hope they are not dead or dying in a ditch or have been kidnapped. The mangled motorbike suggests a violent collision, so it appears that I was not far off the mark with the suggestion of a crash. I will not be surprised if this is a hit and run with an attempt to conceal the victims.Would not be the first time.

It wasn't a crash though. Just a figment of your imagination.

As long as they’re living with their parents, they’re kids. Honestly, some of you seem far too bothered by the term “kids.”

17 in my book, is a kid

The bike was buried on a cemetery, not on a road, and it had rained.

It depends on the soil, the tools, and who’s doing the digging 🥸

Each hour that goes by without word from them or a call from a kidnapper seeking money is one hour closer to no hope.

Did they possibly have any motive to run away and dissappear?

Looks to me like a drugs deal gone wrong.

An interesting Mother. She left her 9yo son to purchase the house, no mention of a Father. The Children join her after 4 years. They are all awake at 4am in the morning and the siblings are popping off to a 7-11.

The other thing that struck me was Diana briefly got off the Motorcycle when they reached the Carriageway. Then they went off against the traffic and met people on a Motorcycle. I wonder if they had a prearranged meeting and she double checked if it was the right place when they stopped. Then realising they were in the wrong place when they stopped changed direction. The police should be able to tell from the CCTV if it looked like a planned meeting.
