The indictment shows that, because he suspected Mr. N. of having an affair with his wife, at noon on February 11, Nguyen Viet Hung had the idea of going to find Mr. N. to resolve the conflict.
After borrowing his uncle’s motorbike, Hung went from Quynh Chau commune, Quynh Luu district to a resident’s house in Dien Lam commune. Hung pretended to go to the restroom and then went into the family’s kitchen to get a knife.
About 40 minutes later, Hung approached Mr. N’s house. Before entering, Hung put the knife inside his pants. At that time, Mr. N. was singing karaoke alone in the living room, so Hung looked through the crack in the door and said: “Brother, open the door so I can ask you something.”
Thinking he was an acquaintance, Mr. N. opened the door and was immediately slashed on the head and shoulder by Hung. Being slashed unexpectedly, Mr. N. used his hand to push Hung out into the yard and tried to run away, but the subject grabbed his hand and prevented him from running.
At this time, Mr. N. shouted "Speak slowly" but was still slashed 3 times by Hung on the head, neck and hip, causing him to fall down. After that, Mr. N. got up, pushed Hung away and ran out into the street to call for help.
Mr. N. was discovered by local people and taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. Authorities determined the victim's disability rate to be 26%.
As for the perpetrator, after slashing the victim, he threw away the knife and ran home. That same afternoon, Nguyen Viet Hung turned himself in to the police and confessed to his crime.
At the trial, the defendant admitted to the crime. The defendant stated that he suspected Mr. N. of having an illicit relationship with his wife, so he acted as charged in the indictment.
The victim attending the court said that the defendant had slandered and defamed his honor and dignity. The victim asked the defendant to apologize.
At the trial, the defendant apologized to the victim and said he misunderstood. Before the trial took place, the defendant had pressured the victim’s family to pay 180 million VND in compensation, so the victim did not request more compensation.
The panel of judges determined that the defendant’s act of stabbing the victim multiple times was murder. The victim survived thanks to timely emergency care.
Considering the case as a whole, the People's Court sentenced Nguyen Viet Hung to 9 years in prison for murder.
