“The wall at the entrance to the hotel, which is on a steep slope, gave way,” said Lt Jarus.

The three women who died in the incident were named by police as: Nu, 25; Mo, 19; and May, 18.

Original reports claimed that a fourth Burmese woman was injured in the incident and taken to Vachira Phuket Hospital. Police and Vachira Hospital staff denied the report this morning.
