UPDATE Pattaya police question two in Russian siblings case Pictures courtesy of SiamChon Pattaya Tourist Police and Chonburi Immigration officers have taken two men for questioning over the disappearance of Russian siblings Diana Nazimova, 22, and Roman Nazimova, 17. The men, known only as "Sua Hoy" and "Phang", deny knowing anything about the case or about two other suspects, "Pong" and "Thong", who remain at large. Police investigate suspected escape help At 1.05pm on 30 July, a team led by Pattaya Tourist Police superintendent Pol Lt Col Prapada Suksuntree and Immigration Division 3 investigator Pol Lt Col Thongthai Phairoh searched the homes of Sua Hoy and Phang. The team also included Pol Capt Atsada Jarusombat and Pol Capt Apisit Phuengyaem, along with Pattaya tourist police investigators and Chonburi immigration officers. Police suspect the two men may have helped Pong and Thong evade a cordon involving more than 200 officers during the previous night. The fugitives were allegedly taken from the area on a motorcycle with a sidecar and concealed beneath a tarpaulin. Investigators also suspect Sua Hoy and Phang may have helped Pong and Thong dig the hole used to bury the Russian siblings' motorcycle parts. Police said local residents had provided information which led officers to widen their investigation. Officers initially searched shelters in the Map Fak Thong area but did not find Sua Hoy. They later found him riding a sidecar motorcycle after he left his mother's home, then took him for questioning. He subsequently led officers to Phang's home, where Phang was also taken in for questioning. i 30 July 2026
