Filipina linked to American deaths in HK released

A 20-year-old Filipina linked to the deaths of two middle-aged Americans found dead in a luxury hotel in Hong Kong is no longer being treated as a suspect.

The report said the unidentified was released after being arrested by police eight hours after the bodies were found at the Grand Hyatt last Friday.

Toxicology tests are being carried out on the two Americans in what reports say may have been a date-rape drugging gone wrong.

The English-language Sunday Morning Post cited a police source as saying the investigation was looking at the possibility the two were drugged, possibly using flunitrazepam, better-known by the brand name Rohypnol.

Other reports have said the men -- only named as Paul and Richard -- were found by cleaning staff with white froth coming out of their mouths and that they returned to the hotel accompanied by two women.

The Standard also said credit card checks had found the two men had visited a number of bars in Hong Kong's red light district Wan Chai the night before they were discovered.

Rohypnol was a factor in the death on 2003 of a senior Finnish police officer who suffered a heart attack at another luxury hotel on the island. Police originally treated the case as murder, but it was never solved.

Kari Juhani Koivuniemi, a chief superintendent at the Finnish ministry of the interior, was last seen entering the hotel with an unidentified woman.
