Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Truong Hoa Binh asked Hanoi to direct the verification of the appeal for help from a mother whose 8-year-old daughter was repeatedly sexually abused and the suspect has not been prosecuted despite a long investigation.
The Government Office issued a directive from the Deputy Prime Minister stating that in recent daysThe media reported that an 8-year-old girl in Hoang Mai district (Hanoi) was repeatedly abused but the "culprit" has not been prosecuted, causing outrage in public opinion.
Deputy Prime Minister Truong Hoa Binh requested the Hanoi People's Committee to urgently verify and report the results to the Prime Minister.
Three days ago, in the document "Notification of results of handling crime denunciation", Hoang Mai District Police saidKnowing that the verification period had expired but there was not enough evidence, they agreed with the People's Procuracy of the same level to extend the period by 2 months to continue clarifying.
According to the authorities, there is not enough basis to decide whether or not to prosecute the criminal case with the content of the crime denunciation by Ms. Van - the person who filed a petition for help about her daughter being abused by a neighbor.
Speaking to the press, Ms. Van said she was "extremely angry" at the announcement of the investigation results.“K"I don't understand why there is still no conclusion. The evidence is so clear, but they still let that depraved man go free," she said, adding that even though she and her family moved away as soon as the incident was reported, the suspected man still occasionally returned to the area near her house.
Currently, she has sent a petition for help not only to the competent authorities in Hoang Mai district but also to the Hanoi People's Committee and many central prosecution agencies.
According to Ms. Van's complaint, at around 7:30 p.m. on January 8, her daughter went to her uncle's house nearby to play with a group of friends, when the 34-year-old neighbor also joined in, inviting her to join in a game of "kidnapping and hide-and-seek." He lured her daughter into a small, deserted alley and committed a depraved act.
Ms. Van told the police that two neighbor children said they saw her child being hugged so they used a broom and slippers to beat the man to rescue his friend.
That night, when she heard her child complaining of pain in her private area while bathing, she investigated and learned the truth. The 8-year-old child confessed that she had been raped many times by the 34-year-old man."search people".
On the evening of January 11, one day after Ms. Van filed a complaint, Thinh Liet Ward Police summoned the man but did not detain him.
According to the examination results, the girl suffered injuries to her private parts, torn hymen, and abrasions.
