On August 6, Zarina Nazimova, mother of Roman and Diana Nazimov, announced that a cremation ceremony for her children would take place in Bangkok. “I did it yesterday,” she stated, describing the event as occurring within their family circle. “In Bangkok. We spent them very beautifully. I thank the people who helped me organize all this. Thank you.”
The farewell ceremony was held on the same day at the site of the murder—a wooded area approximately 300 meters from Highway 331 in the Huai Yai district. Family members, Russian expatriates residing in Thailand, local residents, and community participants gathered to bid farewell to the sisters. Attendees placed flowers at the location where their bodies were discovered.
Roman and Diana Nazimov disappeared on July 26 after leaving their home early in the morning without direction. Surveillance footage captured them being chased by an unidentified motorcyclist, with the sisters later spotted near another man. Two days after their disappearance, their motorcycle was found; authorities noted it had been attempted to be disassembled and concealed. Thai police subsequently detained Ai Suea Hoya and Ai Fanga, who were identified as having assisted two additional intruders—Ai Pong and Ai Tong. During interrogation, these men confessed to the murders of the Nazimovs, with a total of five bodies discovered at the site where they had hidden the victims.
Thai Prime Minister Anuthin Chanvirakun expressed condolences on August 1 following the murder in Pattaya, personally visiting the city to offer support. By August 5, Thai authorities had concluded their investigative procedures for the case.
