Stabbed someone to death because he thought he was being stared at.
Seeing others looking at him, Tuan felt uncomfortable so he started a fight, causing one death and another serious injury.
On the afternoon of August 6, Tra Vinh provincial police announced that they had initiated a criminal case, prosecuted the accused and temporarily detained Nguyen Van Quoc (29 years old, residing in Vinh Kim commune, Cau Ngang district, Tra Vinh province) for 4 months to investigate the act of murder.

According to the investigation results, at around 6:00 p.m. on July 30, Mr. Truong Thanh Tuan (23 years old, residing in Long Hoa commune, Chau Thanh district, Tra Vinh) was driving a motorbike carrying Mr. Tran Phu Quy (residing in the same locality) on a road in Vinh Kim commune (Cau Ngang district) when the motorbike ran out of gas and had to walk.
Quoc was drinking with a group of friends in the house. Hearing a noise outside, he ran out to see and saw Tuan riding his bike but the engine wouldn't start. Thinking that Quoc was looking at him with contempt, Tuan got into an argument with Quoc.
Angry, Quoc ran into the house, took out 2 beer bottles, threatened and hit Mr. Quy on the head, used the remaining broken beer bottle neck, and stabbed Tuan hard in the left hip, causing Tuan to collapse.
As a result, Tuan was seriously injured and died on the way to the emergency room. Mr. Quy was also seriously injured and is being treated.
After committing the crime, Quoc fled into the dike area of the protective forest and was arrested by the police about 3 hours later.
