On August 28, Colonel Pham Trung Thanh - Chief of General Staff and Spokesperson of Kien Giang Provincial Police said that Kien Giang Provincial Police Investigation Agency has just detained suspect Tran Van Thuong (21 years old), residing in To Chau ward, Ha Tien town to investigate the act of murder.

According to initial investigation, at around 2:00 p.m. on August 10, Thuong was drinking with some fishermen on Mr. Tran Xuan Dung's fishing boat anchored in the Nam Du sea area.

While drinking, Mr. Nguyen Hoang Sang (41 years old), who lives near Thuong's house, joked that on the buttocks of Thuong's aunt and biological mother there were moles similar to his buttocks.

Angered by Mr. Sang's tactless remark, Thuong and Sang got into an argument and then started fighting. Thuong used a knife to stab Mr. Sang multiple times, killing him on the spot.
