Nam's group called in Hoat's group and Manh's group, who brought along one pig-slaughtering knife and two swords to join the melee. Hoat used a sword to slash Long in the neck, causing his death.
Currently, the Investigation Police Department of Ha Nam province is consolidating the case file and handling the case according to the law.
