(Baonghean.vn) - Tho Ba Dung rode a motorbike with a K59 military gun and 8 bullets, carrying Vu Ba Co carrying a backpack containing drugs to deliver to Lo Van Thang. However, when the two arrived at Chau Thon commune, Que Phong district, they were arrested by the police.

On May 15, Nghe An Provincial People's Court opened a first-instance criminal trial of three defendants Tho Ba Dung (born 1982), Vu Ba Co (born 1986), and Lo Van Thang (born 1968), all residing in Que Phong district, for the crime of "Illegal drug trafficking".

In addition to the above charges, defendant Dung was also prosecuted for "Illegal possession and use of military weapons" and "Murder".

According to the case file, Lo Van Thang met Tho Ba Chung (Tho Ba Dung's brother) while buying buffalo and cows.

In mid-May 2022, They came to Thang's house to discuss selling drugs, and the two sides agreed on 1 heroin cake for 60 million VND. Thang ordered 15 heroin cakes from Them with the intention of reselling them to a customer in Quang Nam province. After that, They contacted Tho Ba Dung, his brother-in-law Vu Ba Co and some people involved in drug transportation.

On May 29, 2022, under the direction of the Group, Co brought the drugs out of the forest. At about 6:30 p.m. the same day, when the "goods" were out of the forest, about 10 meters from National Highway 16, Co called to inform Tho Ba Dung of the location to come pick him up on a motorbike.

Dung rode a motorbike with a K59 military gun and 8 bullets, one of which was loaded, to carry Co, who was carrying a backpack containing more than 5.2 kg of drugs, to deliver to Lo Van Thang.

However, when the two went to Chau Thon commune, Que Phong district, they were discovered and arrested by the Working Group.

During the arrest, Dung fiercely resisted and used a military gun to shoot at the people on duty, causing a police officer to be hit by a bullet and injured in the thigh with a body injury rate of 6%.

The police agency determined that in this case, Tho Ba Chung and a number of other related subjects are on the run, so they will continue to investigate and clarify.

The panel of judges determined that the criminal acts of the defendants Tho Ba Dung, Vu Ba Co and Lo Van Thang were especially dangerous to society with a very large amount of drugs, requiring strict sentences for general deterrence and prevention.

Considering the case as a whole, the panel sentenced defendant Tho Ba Dung to death for “Illegal drug trafficking”, 6 years in prison for “Murder” and 2 years in prison for “Possession of military weapons”, totaling the death penalty. The two defendants Vu Ba Co and Lo Van Thang were sentenced to death for “Illegal drug trafficking”.
