According to the investigation results, at the end of 2019, Mr. Tieu Quoc Linh, a police officer of Vinh Phuoc A commune, discovered many people gathered to gamble on cockfighting on Nguyen Van Thao's grandfather's land, so he came to disperse them.
Angry because his cockfighting ring had been shut down after only two days of opening, suspect Thao brought an iron bar and a can of gasoline to Mr. Linh's house to burn it down.
When Mr. Linh opened the door, Thao rushed in and doused him with gasoline. At that time, suspect Thao lit a lighter but it did not light. Mr. Linh's wife rushed in and snatched the lighter but was pushed out by Mr. Linh. Thao then used an iron bar to hit the police officer, injuring him. He also threw bricks into the house and threatened to kill Mr. Linh.
Thao was then arrested by the police and taken to the police station. After being allowed to go home to wait for the results of the victim's injury assessment, Thao fled the area.
The Go Quao District Police Department issued a wanted notice. After 2 years on the run, Thao was recently arrested when he returned home for Tet.
