(Baonghean.vn) -As reported, Nguyen Van Tu lived next to Mr. Nguyen Luong Phuong's house. Knowing that Mr. Nguyen Luong Phuong stored a lot of gold and foreign currency, he thought of a plan to break into the house and steal.

As the only son in a family of two sisters, Nguyen Van Tu (born in 1992, residing in block 4, Hung Nguyen town, Nghe An province) failed the university entrance exam, his family's economic situation was difficult, Tu wished to have an expensive motorbike to hang out with friends. While he was "thirsty for money", he knew that Mr. Phuong's house next door had a lot of money, gold, foreign currency, but the gate was high, the fence was closed, and he was carefully guarded.

At about 4:30 p.m. on April 24, 2012, Tu was lying on the bed, saw a cat walking on the wall of Mr. Phuong's house, Tu took off his slippers and threw them, the slippers flew to Mr. Phuong's house. Using the excuse of looking for slippers, Tu climbed over the wall and found that no one was home, and Mr. Phuong's bedroom was also unlocked. Discovering the iron box chained to a metal chest right at the foot of the cupboard, Tu removed the chains and took the box to hide in an abandoned house next to his house. At about 8 p.m. the same day, Tu used an iron spike to break the lock of the iron box, opened it and found 2 gold rings, 1 gold necklace, 10.5 SJC gold leaf pieces, 100 Euros, more than 7 million VND in cash and two savings books worth 367 million VND. Tu took the Euro cash and all the gold and put them in his pocket, leaving the 2 savings books and other documents in the iron box and threw them down the well. Fearing that he would be discovered, Tu hid more than 7 million VND in cash on his person, and put the remaining assets in the pocket of old jeans and hid them in an abandoned house. The next evening, Tu returned to take a piece of gold leaf, a gold necklace, 2 rings and a euro bill to sell in Vinh city and Ha Tinh province for 59,620,000 VND to buy a motorbike for 39,500,000 VND and a phone for 3,200,000 VND, and spent the rest.
