Previously, on November 29, 2000, Tran Ngoc Phuong and Phan Xuan Hien (from the same commune) drove a car with license plate number 37H 0682 carrying 1.84 cubic meters of wood and some pigs towards Hanoi. When they arrived at Thanh Hoa city, the Thanh Hoa Mobile Forest Ranger Team signaled them to stop the car for inspection, but Tran Ngoc Phuong did not comply and drove away. When they reached the Tao Xuyen toll station, they crashed into Vu Van Quang (first class private, soldier of Company 20, Staff Office, Thanh Hoa Provincial Military Command), killing Quang on the spot. Phan Xuan Hien later turned himself in, while Tran Ngoc Phuong fled the area.

At 9am on October 23, wanted suspect Tran Ngoc Phuong was arrested while preparing to enter the forest to log. He has now been handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department of Military Region 4 for handling in accordance with the law.
