According to the indictment, Phat married Ms. Le and had two children together. The whole family lived in Ben Cat town (Binh Duong). In early 2017, Mr. Thanh (37 years old, from Tien Giang) often went to Phat's wife's restaurant to eat, so he got to know Ms. Le. A few months later, Phat suspected that his wife was having an affair with Mr. Thanh, so he installed a GPS tracker on Ms. Le's car to monitor her.
Phat questioned his wife's landlady, assigned Duy to guard outside, then broke the door open. Seeing Thanh standing with his wife, Phat pulled out a knife and stabbed him once in the chest. The victim ran outside but collapsed and died shortly after.
After committing the crime, he saw on the table in the room a necklace, gold ring, and phone (worth 30 million VND) belonging to Thanh. Phat thought his wife bought them for him, so he put them in the victim's backpack and brought them home. At noon that same day, Phat and Duy were arrested by the police.
During the trial, the defendants admitted their crimes.
