The arrested suspect is Le Cong Tuong (born in 1992), residing in Quynh Trang commune, Hoang Mai town. At the investigation agency, Tuong confessed that he was the one who directly stabbed Ngoc with a knife. The reason for the murder was due to a sudden conflict between the two sides. Specifically, before that, Ngoc and Mr. Thu (Tuong's father) had a traffic collision, resulting in Mr. Thu's motorbike being damaged. The two sides agreed on a compensation plan by letting Ngoc take Mr. Thu's motorbike to be repaired.

At noon on September 13, Mr. Ngoc took his motorbike to the VH motorbike repair shop in Quynh Xuan Ward for repair. When Tuong arrived at the repair shop, he saw that the motorbike had been repaired but the broken headlight had not been fixed yet. Tuong asked Mr. Ngoc to take responsibility for the repair but Mr. Ngoc refused. After that, the two sides had a rather tense argument, suddenly Tuong used a knife to stab Mr. Ngoc, causing him to collapse on the spot and die after being taken to the emergency room.

Currently, the investigation agency is continuing to take statements and complete legal procedures in accordance with the law, and proceeding to prosecute the case.
