Couple born on the same day, same month went to jail together for 'drugs'

Love each other, "love" drugs too
Ha Van Toan (28 years old, residing in Muong Noc commune, Que Phong district), and Vi Ngoc Anh (30 years old, residing in Kim Son town, Que Phong district) were both born on March 8. However, that coincidence did not make the couple "famous", but the fact that they both used drugs and participated in buying and selling them together.white goods"so this couple is known by many people.
Before being tried by the People's Court of Nghe An province, Toan was sentenced to 7 years in prison for drug-related crimes. Thanks to his good behavior, in 2018, Toan was released from prison early and returned to his hometown to make a living. Since his release from prison, Toan had the opportunity to meet a girl 2 years older than him named Vi Ngoc Anh.

“Girl is 2 years older, boy is 1 year older” both decided to overcome the age barrier to come together. During the time of love, Anh was invited by her lover to use drugs many times. Being addicted to this substance made the couple more attached to each other. After being in love for a while, Anh was invited by Toan to find customers to buy drugs to earn money. Instead of stopping her, Anh became her lover’s right-hand man.

Specifically, in early July 2020, Ha Van Toan went to work in the forest and met a Mong man named Cua. This man asked Toan to find someone to buy drugs, quoting the price of 1 kg of crystal meth at 130 million VND. This man gave him a package of pink meth to use and promised to pay 10 million VND for the work, Toan immediately agreed.

After finding a customer, on July 18, 2020, the couple went to meet their "partner" at a motel. Here, Toan and the "customer" agreed to buy 1 kgdrugfor 130 million VND. Immediately after finding a drug buyer, Ha Van Toan contacted Cua to get the "goods".

On the afternoon of July 19, 2020, Toan drove Anh to get drugs, then hid them in the bushes and arranged a location to deliver them to the customer. When Toan went to get the "goods" to deliver to the buyer, the police discovered and confiscated 830.805 grams of drugs. Searching Toan's residence, the police discovered more than 15 grams of drugs that the man named Cua had given them earlier.
Sentenced to life in prison
Based on Toan's testimony, the authorities arrested Vi Thi Anh. Ha Van Toan was prosecuted for two crimes: "Illegal trading and possession of narcotics", and Vi Ngoc Anh was prosecuted for "Illegal trading of narcotics". Before the witness stand, the two defendants confessed to their crimes as charged in the indictment. The two defendants expressed remorse and asked for a lighter sentence so that they could soon have a chance to return to rebuild their lives.
But it seems that all the regrets of the two defendants were too late. As the mastermind in the case, the panel sentenced defendant Ha Van Toan to life in prison for "Illegal drug trafficking" and 7 years in prison for "Illegal drug possession", a total of life imprisonment.

Defendant Vi Ngoc Anh, who actively assisted defendant Toan, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for "illegally trading in narcotics". As for the drug dealer named Cua, because the two defendants did not know his exact address, the authorities had no basis to prosecute him.
After the first stumble of his life, Ha Van Toan "corrected his mistakes" with a life sentence. His mistress Vi Ngoc Anh, for money, blindly entered the path of crime and ended up with a 20-year prison sentence. Because of drugs, the couple born on the same day and month "led each other" to prison on the same day...
