Mr. At cried in front of the coffin of his unfortunate child. |
Mr. Tran Minh Phuong (born 1984), head of the residential group, was the first person to discover the child's body while fishing.
After 5 days of waiting for news of her child, Ms. Thao's health had deteriorated a lot. As soon as she received the bad news, her whole family ran to her with only one wish - that it wasn't No.
The moment she saw her son's body floating in the lake, Ms. Thao fainted on the spot and her family had to take her to the hospital for emergency care.
At noon, the sand dunes were scorching hot, but thousands of people still came to pay their condolences to the family. Many people waited just to light an incense stick for No.
At around 10:30 a.m., the child's body was taken out of the lake, and a tarp was set up next to it for the investigation agency to conduct an autopsy to serve the investigation.

Authorities drained the lake to assist with the investigation. |
A pump with two large water taps was brought to the scene to drain the lake and find evidence to serve the investigation.
At home, a small theater was hastily set up in front of the yard. The neighbors who played with No every day had tired legs and could not cross the sand to get to the scene, so they had to wait for him to come home.
At around 2:00 p.m., the child's body was handed over to the family to carry out burial procedures.
When the lid of the small coffin was closed, dozens of relatives and hundreds of people rushed in to stand around.
In the middle of the vast sand dunes, there were only heartbreaking cries. In front of his son’s coffin, Mr. At kept kneeling down and falling down, calling his son’s name over and over again: “Why are you suffering like this, my son? What did I do wrong to anyone that now my hair is white and I have to send off my green hair like this. You are still so young, what crime have you committed…”.
