Arrest of subject poisoning fish due to hatred

Previously, as reported by Nghe An Newspaper, on November 19, 2024, Dinh Son Commune Police (Anh Son District) received a complaint from 04 households in Bai Say Hamlet, Dinh Son Commune about the fact that the families of these households had fish ponds close to each other with a phenomenon of many dead fish, suspected of being poisoned.

Anh Son District Police and related units conducted a crime scene investigation and verification.

Initial preliminary results determined that the number of damaged fish was very large, including many species: black carp, grass carp, bighead carp, bighead carp, bighead carp, tilapia... and it is suspected that the fish died due to poisoning.

The damaged fish pond area is located in a deserted hill, far from residential areas, so searching and verifying is very difficult.

During the investigation, Anh Son District Police identified the perpetrator as Nguyen Minh Hoi, born in 1983, residing in Cam Thang village, Cam Son, Anh Son district. Initially, Hoi confessed that due to a misunderstanding with Vo Van Ng's family about an incident from May 2024, he went online to buy fish poison.

Taking advantage of the fact that on November 18, 2024, Bai Say village was organizing the National Great Unity Day, and Mr. Ng's family did not go to the camp to visit the fish pond, Hoi released fish poison into the pond, causing the water in Mr. Ng's pond to spread to many other ponds, causing mass fish deaths.

Hoi's trick was to hide on a hill of trees, throw a plastic bottle containing fish poison into Mr. Ng's pond, then use a CPC sports gun to shoot a hole in the plastic bottle so that the fish poison could flow out.

Up to now, Anh Son District Police have determined that the number of dead fish is estimated at 1.3 tons.

Currently, the Anh Son District Police Investigation Agency is detaining the subject for handling according to regulations.
