On the afternoon of October 13, the Investigation Police Agency of Vinh Phuc Province Police announced that they had arrested Nguyen Van Thieu (born in 1997), residing in Cong Sau village, Huong Dao commune, Tam Duong district, for the act of"Killing".

Previously, at around 11:00 p.m. on October 12, the Investigation Police Agency of Vinh Phuc Province received a report from Tam Duong District Police that at around 7:30 p.m. on October 12, a murder occurred on Provincial Road 309 in Bo Yen Village, Huong Dao Commune (Tam Duong), the victim was Ha Thi Duyen (born in 1997), residing in Hoang Hoa Commune, Tam Duong District. After committing the crime, the suspect fled the scene.

The crime occurred at night and on a road where there were no residents. There was no basis to determine the specific crime scene, no direct witnesses or security cameras. Under the close and decisive direction of the Provincial Police Department, the Criminal Police Department mobilized 100% of its leaders and officers to coordinate with Tam Duong District Police to apply investigative and professional measures to clarify the perpetrator.

At about 11:00 a.m. on October 13 (12 hours after receiving the report), the force participating in the investigation of the case clarified and coordinated with the Soc Son District Police, Hanoi City to arrest Nguyen Van Thieu, while he was on the run in Soc Son town.

At the investigation agency, Nguyen Van Thieu initially confessed that he and Ha Thi Duyen had been married since 2017 and had no children together. During their time together, conflicts arose between the couple. About a month ago, Duyen wanted a divorce and returned to her mother's house in Hoang Hoa commune.

After that, Thieu repeatedly asked his wife to go home but Ms. Duyen did not agree. On the evening of October 12, Thieu placed a long sharp knife in the middle of the motorbike and drove the motorbike to the road and waited for his wife at the place where his wife often passed by. At this time, Ms. Duyen drove her Honda Lead motorbike from village 4, Huong Dao commune towards Provincial Road 309 to Hop Hoa town (Tam Duong) to go to work the night shift.

When Thieu drove his motorbike parallel to Duyen's, he asked and suggested that his wife go home, but Duyen did not agree. Thieu immediately used his right hand to stab Duyen's left shoulder with a knife and then pulled the knife out. Immediately after that, both stopped their motorbikes. Seeing that Duyen was bleeding profusely, Thieu hugged and supported his wife, sitting behind Thieu's motorbike, and drove the motorbike to Tam Duong District Medical Center for emergency treatment, leaving Duyen's Honda Lead motorbike on the side of the road.

On the way to take Ms. Duyen to the emergency room about 500m, Thieu also threw the sharp knife on the side of the road. Immediately after taking Ms. Duyen to the Tam Duong District Medical Center for emergency treatment, Thieu escaped to Binh Xuyen District (Vinh Phuc) and Soc Son District, Hanoi City.

The investigation agency seized the two motorcycles mentioned above and the knife Thieu used as the murder weapon. It is known that Thieu has a previous conviction for illegal drug trafficking in 2015.
