Lu Van Kham (born in 1994) is the brother-in-law of Moong Van Di - the person who organized a medicinal wine party at his house and invited Kham to drink.
"At 2 o'clock, I came back from fixing the faucet and hadn't had time to wash my hands and feet when my uncle said: Brother-in-law, come to my house to drink my medicinal wine (in Nghe An, people call the wife's brother or younger brother 'uncle') which has been soaked for 7 or 8 days. I don't invite other people, only my brother-in-law and younger brother to drink" - Mr. Kham said sadly.
He also said that there were 4 people at the wine table, including Moong Van Di and his wife Lo Thi Van (both born in 1978), Moong Van Tue (also known as Muoi, born in 1984) and the youngest was Kham (born in 1994).

However, at that moment, Mr. Di did not believe it either. He said: "Don't lie to me, I'm sitting here, calm. If the alcohol had drugs, I would be affected too" - Mr. Kham recounted. And right after that sentence, Mr. Di also collapsed on the alcohol mat.
Just a few minutes later, when all four people collapsed, the scene became chaotic. Mr. Di's family members panicked and called for help, but it was too late. Ms. Lo Thi Van died on the bed; Mr. Di and Mr. Tue died on the way to the emergency room, and Mr. Kham was taken to Ky Son District General Hospital, then transferred to Nghe An Provincial General Hospital, where he was saved by the doctors and nurses there.
