Arrested husband who stabbed wife in front of two children

Tran Phu Tai put the knife in the trunk of his car and waited in front of his wife's parents' house. When Ms. T. brought her two children home, Tai pulled out a knife and stabbed Ms. T. to death.

On July 4, District 12 Police, Ho Chi Minh City, said they were still detaining Tran Phu Tai (28 years old, residing in Hoc Mon district) to investigate the murder.

According to the initial investigation, Tai and Ms. NNTT (27 years old, living in District 12) got married in 2006 and have two sons (the older one is 10 years old, the younger one is 4 years old). Tai works as a driver and Ms. T. works as a hairdresser.

In early June 2017, due to many conflicts between her husband and wife, Ms. T. brought her children back to live with her biological parents in Tan Thoi Hiep ward, district 12.

On June 30, Tai went to his wife's parents' house to take his children back to his house in Hoc Mon district. Two afternoons later, Ms. T. returned to pick up her two children and take them to her grandparents' house.

After coming home from work, Tai found out that his wife had gone to pick up their child, so he was upset and took a knife and put it in the trunk of his car to look for her. When he got to his wife's parents' house but didn't see his wife and child there, Tai stood outside the alley and waited.

When he saw his wife carrying two children on a motorbike back to the alley, Tai stopped the car, and the two continued to argue loudly. Suddenly, Tai opened the trunk of the car, took out a knife and stabbed his wife many times, causing Ms. T. to collapse on the spot.

Seeing that, Tai's two children were scared and shouted for help. Ms. T. was taken to the emergency room but died.

After stabbing his wife, Tai ran away but was subdued by local people and handed over to the police./.
