The male suspect, according to Las Vegas police, is captured in a camera footage of Circus Circus hotel. Las Vegas police say they are looking for man seen entering and leaving hotel on surveillance camera. Las Vegas City Police announced on Thursday that they are looking for a male suspect who could have killed two Vietnamese visitors in a hotel room on June 1. They believe that the man was a burglar who killed the two Vietnamese visitors after they caught him stealing, Lieutenant Ray Spencer from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said at a press briefing. Security staff of the Circus Circus Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, found Nghia Boi Sang, 38, and Nguyen Le Ba Khuong, 30, dead with stab wounds after they were late for a group meeting with other tourists on the morning of June 1. Sang was the director of a travel company in Ho Chi Minh City and Khuong was her employee. They were staying at Circus Circus hotel and casino as part of a group tour. The tour group arrived in Las Vegas last Thursday night and were planning to visit the Grand Canyon the following day. Police first treated the case as a murder-suicide, but ruled out the possibility later. Surveillance camera footage showed a man entering the elevator and riding up at around 4 a.m. that day. He got back into the elevator to go down 45 minutes later, carrying a backpack that could belong to the male victim, Khuong, police said.<doc-sep>Two Vietnamese tourists found stabbed to death Friday afternoon inside a Circus Circus hotel room have been identified. Circus Circus on the Las Vegas Strip. Two people were found stabbed to death in a hotel room on Friday, June 1, 2018. (Chitose Suzuki/Las Vegas Review-Journal) @chitosephoto Two Vietnamese tourists found stabbed to death Friday afternoon inside a Circus Circus hotel room have been identified. Las Vegas police found Sang Boi Nghia, 38, and Khuong Ba Le Nguyen, 30, dead inside the Strip hotel at 2880 Las Vegas Blvd. South while conducting a welfare check. The two were part of a tour group planning to visit the Grand Canyon that day, but Nghia and Nguyen never showed, police said. The group had arrived Thursday in Las Vegas from Los Angeles and were scheduled to return to Los Angeles on Saturday. Nghia’s death was ruled a homicide by the Clark County coroner on Monday. She died of multiple stab and “incised” wounds. Nguyen’s cause of death was still pending with the coroner’s office. On Saturday, Chau Nghia told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that her mother and Nguyen were colleagues and not a couple as the Metropolitan Police Department had initially reported. Chau Nghia said that her mother owned a tourist business in Saigon, Vietnam, and that Nguyen was one of her mother’s employees. “They are very close,” she said. “Just like sister and brother.” She declined to comment further other than to say, “My family is very sad.” Police said that a person reported hearing an argument coming from the pair’s hotel room around 2 a.m. Friday. Detectives now suspect that disturbance likely was when the attack happened, Metro homicide Lt. Ray Spencer said at the time. County booking logs show that no arrests have been made in the double homicide. A language barrier between police and the tourists complicated the early stages of the investigation, and police ask that anyone with information contact Metro’s homicide section at 702-828-3521 or Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.
