Grenade thrower who injured and killed 6 people was arrested after 35 years on the run.

According to the case file, on February 9, 1989, due to a conflict with some toll collectors at the Vom pontoon bridge in Thieu Khanh commune, Thieu Hoa district, Do Hien Luong (in Thieu Hop commune, Thieu Hoa district) directly brought grenades with his accomplices to the Vom pontoon bridge area to resolve the conflict.

Here, Do Hien Luong pulled the pin of a grenade and threw it at the people of Thieu Khanh commune, killing 3 people on the spot and seriously injuring 3 others. After committing the crime, 11 people in Luong's group were arrested, but Luong escaped.

To avoid being caught by the police, Do Hien Luong cut off contact with his family. While on the run, Luong frequently changed his residence and worked in many localities in the southern provinces. More cunningly, he changed his name to Le Van Sang, then applied to work at the Hau River Farm, got married, and lived in Can Tho City.

Although he was on the run 35 years ago, "the net of heaven is vast, though sparse, it is difficult to escape", through the work of screening and following clues, capturing information from the masses, at the end of July 2024, from information in Can Tho City about a subject with characteristics similar to Do Hien Luong, detectives of the Criminal Police Department of Thanh Hoa Provincial Police quickly verified and coordinated with Can Tho City Police to isolate, track and successfully arrest the subject.

At the time of arrest, the subject's wife and children were also surprised about Do Hien Luong's identity.

Currently, the police are completing the documents for processing according to regulations.
