Previously, at around 8am on September 7, Hoang Van Liu suddenly took a knife to his younger brother's house and entered his nephew's room. When he saw HVV (10 years old) alone in the room, Liu suddenly used a knife to repeatedly slash the child.

As a result, V. suffered a severed left hand and several injuries to his right hand and left eye corner.

Immediately after discovering the incident, relatives took V. to the emergency room and reported the incident to the police.

After the incident, Son Dong District Police detained Hoang Van Lieu to investigate and clarify the cause of the incident.
