When he got home, he saw his wife, Thai Thi H (born in 1976), and son preparing dinner, while Binh was drinking wine. After H and her son finished eating, they left the tray on the table and went to bed.

After drinking, Binh took the kettle to boil water to make instant noodles. He saw the tray of rice on the table, with the shell of a snail dish on the tray.

Angry because his wife did not save his portion, Binh used a plastic chair to go to the bed and hit his wife; picked up a plate of snail shells and fish sauce and threw it at Ms. H.

Not stopping there, he continued to take the kettle of boiling water and threw it straight into his wife's face.

After being doused with boiling water, Ms. H ran outside and went to Dong Son commune health station for treatment with burns on 30% of her body.

At the investigation agency, Truong Dinh Binh confessed to all his crimes against his wife. He is currently being detained at the Nghe An provincial police detention center.
