Previously, at around 3:00 p.m. on July 19, three students, including Nguyen Tuan Kiet (born in 2008), Nguyen Van Duy Sinh (born in 2009) and Nguyen Van Duong (4th grade student at Quynh Xuan B Primary School), all residing in block 7, Quynh Xuan ward, Hoang Mai town, went together to the river area next to the shrimp pond of households in block 6, Quynh Xuan ward to fish.
Unfortunately, all three children fell into a shrimp pond with water about 1.5 meters deep. Because they knew how to swim, Kiet and Sinh swam to shore, then rode their bicycles to call for help to save Duong. Their house was about 500 meters from the drowning scene.
