Strangled his wife to death and then created a fake scene of her being electrocuted.
The police have just prosecuted and temporarily detained Tran Van Ly (born in 1981, residing in Bo Ly commune, Tam Dao district) for murder.
Ly did not go, so the couple had a conflict and argued. Ly went into the couple's bedroom and Lien followed and continued to curse.
Angry at being insulted, Ly got up, threw Lien onto the bed, and used both hands to strangle her to death.
Knowing that his wife had died, Ly faked an electric shock by holding Lien and placing her on her back on the floor, then took a heater fan and unconnected the two ends of the fan's wire, placed the exposed copper wire in Lien's right palm and plugged it into the electrical outlet.
When he saw Lien's hand contract, sizzling, and smelling burnt, Ly unplugged it. Then, Ly took his motorbike to Quang Tran restaurant to buy porridge and balut. When he got back, Ly ran out to call his neighbors and called his family to take Lien to the emergency room.
