Previously, at around 10:00 p.m. on December 28, 2021, Gia Y Dua came home from a trip and saw her husband, Tho Ba Gia, talking with two Lao men in the living room.
A moment later, Tho Ba Gia went down to the kitchen to meet his wife, holding a black plastic bag containing two packages of drugs. He said that the plastic bag was given to him by two Lao people and invited his wife to go with him to deliver it to a man in Huoi Tu commune, Ky Son district. Not daring to disobey her husband, Gia Y Dua agreed.
At about 1 a.m. on December 29, 2021, Tho Ba Gia drove his wife to the meeting point in Mai Son commune, Tuong Duong district. Upon arrival, Gia told his wife to look after the drugs while he drove to meet the buyer. After the agreement was reached, Tho Ba Gia immediately returned to pick up his wife.
The subjects were transacting when they were discovered by the Ky Son district working group. The man who bought the goods and Tho Ba Gia immediately ran away while Gia Y Dua was arrested.
As a result of the examination, 1 plastic bag collected at the scene contained 59 polythene bags weighing 1159 grams of methamphetamine.
At the trial, Dua initially denied any of the crimes in the indictment. According to Gia Y Dua, her husband, Tho Ba Gia, was the mastermind behind it all. However, after a struggle, Dua admitted to all of her crimes.
The prosecutor proposed a 20-year prison sentence for Gia Y Dua for the above crime.
As for Tho Ba Gia as well as the drug buyer, after many times of issuing wanted notices, they are currently not found in the locality. Therefore, there is not enough evidence to prosecute Tho Ba Gia.
The panel of judges determined: Although Gia Y Dua knew it was drugs, she still voluntarily followed her husband to trade. That is an act that needs to be severely punished to set an example for the villagers. Therefore, based on the circumstances, the panel sentenced Gia Y Dua to 20 years in prison.
