Shocking news: 80-year-old man in Nghe An province slashes son to death

(Baonghean.vn) - A conflict arose between a father and son, and in anger, the nearly 80-year-old man residing in Huu Kiem commune (Ky Son, Nghe An) took a knife and slashed his son many times, causing his death.

"Mr. Vien was arrested early this morning (June 11) while hiding at a relative's house in Luong Minh commune, Tuong Duong district," said Mr. Ha Van Thai - Head of Huu Kiem commune police.

According to the police, Mr. Vien is a shaman who often performs rituals for local people, so he is often drunk. Late on June 9, Mr. Vien returned home and argued loudly with Mr. Vong.

Crime scene.

"Mr. Vien is often drunk, and Mr. Vong, although 47 years old, is still not married and has no job, so father and son often quarrel and fight. The previous times, the mother was home so she intervened in time," said the Chief of Police of Huu Kiem Commune.

Unable to control his anger, Mr. Vien took a knife and slashed Mr. Vong's body and head many times, one of which hit his temple, causing the victim to die before he could be taken to the Ky Son District Medical Center for emergency treatment. Knowing that his son would not survive, Mr. Vien immediately fled back to his hometown (Luong Minh Commune, Tuong Duong District).
The incident is still under investigation.
