On August 28, Dong Nai police arrested Nguyen Trong Duc (32 years old, in Vinh An town, Vinh Cuu district) to investigate the acts of Murder and Robbery.

According to the initial investigation, yesterday afternoon, Ms. Bui Thi Nhan (26 years old) was selling western medicine alone at her house on DT 767 Street, Vinh An Town, Vinh Cuu District, Dong Nai. Duc entered the shop pretending to buy medicine and had his feet examined. During the conversation, he asked for money but the female owner of the pharmacy did not give it, so the two sides argued.

Angry, Duc pulled out a knife and stabbed Ms. Nhan many times. Seeing the incident, Mr. Dao Xuan Kien (53 years old) who was running out of the house was also stabbed by this man. Seeing many people around running towards him, Duc quickly left the scene. The two victims were taken to the emergency room but Ms. Nhan died.
