(Baonghean.vn) - Suspecting that Mr. C. hired someone to cut down trees in the forest area he managed, during an argument, Lam took a knife and stabbed his opponent in the stomach. On the day of the trial, the defendant burst into tears and apologized to the victim.
On June 28, Nghe An Provincial People's Court opened the first instance trial of Dang Dinh Lam (born 1979), residing in Phuc Son commune, Anh Son district, for the crime of "Murder".
Lam is a worker at Nghe An Rubber Investment and Development Joint Stock Company. Lam was assigned by the company to protect the rubber forest in Khe Veu area, Phuc Son commune.
On the morning of December 14, 2022, Lam discovered two strange men cutting miscellaneous trees in the forest area under his management, so he asked, "Who allowed you to cut trees here?" The two men replied, "Mr. C. hired them to cut trees," but Lam stopped them because this was the company's land.
That same afternoon, Lam called Dang Van C. (born in 1986, same locality) and the two sides had a conflict. Lam asked "where are you", C. replied "at home" then Lam came to the house with a knife.
When they met, the two got into an argument. Lam tried to stab Mr. C. but was stopped by passersby who advised them to leave.
However, the two sides did not return. Lam told C. "I will stab you to death." C. replied, "You should go home. You don't have the guts to stab me."
After being told that twice by C., Lam stabbed C. in the stomach, perforating his small intestine and colon. The victim was seriously injured and was taken to Nghe An General Hospital for emergency treatment. The victim's body injury rate due to the injury was 59%.
At the trial, the defendant admitted to the crime. The defendant stated that he acted as above because he suspected the victim had hired someone to cut down the company’s timber in the location assigned to him. Lam stated that because the victim had challenged him, he acted without restraint.
The defendant burst into tears and apologized to the victim. Attending the trial, the victim asked for a reduced sentence for the defendant.
The panel of judges determined that the defendant had used a dangerous weapon to stab the victim in a vital area of the body. The victim survived because he received timely emergency care.
Considering the aggravating and mitigating circumstances, the People's Court sentenced Dang Dinh Lam to 7 years in prison for "Murder".
