According to the indictment, Dung married and lived with Nguyen Thi Hue and her two daughters (14 and 12 years old) in Tam Phuoc commune, Bien Hoa city. Due to a conflict, Hue kicked her husband out of the house.
After many failed attempts to rekindle their relationship, in the early morning of August 20, 2018, Dung brought gasoline, climbed over the wall into the house, poured it on his wife and two girls, and set them on fire. Due to severe burns, the two girls died, and Ms. Hue suffered a 68% disability.
In court, Dung showed remorse. However, the jury assessed that the defendant's crime was too cruel, causing extremely serious consequences, killing many people, killing children... so the jury handed down the highest sentence.
