He went to his ex-father-in-law's house to ask to take his son home to take care of him, but an argument broke out and the man used a knife to commit murder.
The incident occurred at 6:00 p.m. on December 6 in Hamlet 1, Song Nhan Commune, Cam My District, Dong Nai Province.
According to initial information, at that time, Vu Ngoc Hung (37 years old, residing in Ngo Quyen hamlet, Bau Ham 2 commune, Thong Nhat district, Dong Nai) called his ex-wife, Le Thi Th. (divorced for more than 2 years) to ask to take her eldest son who was living with his mother home to take care of him. However, Th. did not agree, so Hung threatened to "kill the whole family".
