The verdict determined that Toan sold two cakes of drugs to Ms. Tran Thi Hien (the victim's mother) for 300 million VND, but before he could get the money, he was arrested in another case. In early 2019, after completing his prison term, Toan went to Muong Thanh market (Dien Bien Phu city) to meet Ms. Hien to collect the debt, but failed, so he organized the kidnapping of her daughter to put pressure on her.

The 22-year-old girl was tricked into delivering chickens and then locked up at Bui Van Cong's house from February 4 (Lunar New Year's Eve) to February 6; she was repeatedly raped by Cong, Luong Van Hung, Luong Van La, Vuong Van Hung, Cam Van Chuong, Pham Van Dung, and Pham Van Nhiem. On the evening of February 6, Cong murdered the victim to cover up the evidence with the help of many people.

The panel of judges assessed that the above criminal acts stemmed from regular drug use and participation in the trafficking of these banned substances to illegally enrich themselves. Furthermore, the case occurred because of unfair payments.

The actions of the defendants were "inhumane" and were condemned by the whole society. This was an especially serious and well-organized crime. Most of the defendants were drug addicts and did not admit their actions in the early stages of the investigation, causing many difficulties for the police. At the trial, Cong and Thu Vuong Van Hung did not admit their crimes.

The panel of judges believes that Toan is the ringleader. Cong plays the main role and commits an especially serious crime. Cong and Toan have bad personal records, many criminal records, and after being released from prison, they continue to commit dangerous crimes, so they cannot be educated to become good people and need to be permanently removed from society.

During the trial, the People's Procuracy proposed to withdraw the decision to prosecute Bui Van Cong and Vuong Van Hung for the crime.RobberyThe panel of judges found this request well-founded and therefore accepted it.

During the investigation, Thu claimed to have a mental illness, but the results of the assessment showed that she did not have this illness. The panel of judges found that Thu had the right to report and denounce the crimes of the other defendants but did not do so. Although the defendant did not admit to the crime, the panel of judges based on the statements of the others had sufficient grounds to convict her.
