Burned down the rice harvester because of not paying the bill.

(Baonghean.vn) - Due to a conflict over the arrangement of rice harvesters, Tri ordered his "underlings" to burn and destroy Mr. Than's machine at night. Knowing that the police were searching for him, Tri forced his underlings to flee.

On the morning of October 10, Major Bui Van Ngoc - Deputy Head of Yen Thanh District Police said that the unit had just issued a decision to prosecute the case, prosecute the accused, and detain a group of young men residing in Dong Thanh Commune (Yen Thanh) to investigate the crimes of "Property Destruction" and "Concealing Crimes".

The arrested and prosecuted subjects include: Dao Quang Tri (born 1982), Dang Ba Thuan (born 1992), Nguyen Van Thong (born 1994) and Trinh Trong Nhat (born 1990), all residing in Dong Thanh commune. The seized evidence includes: 82 5cm nails; 1 lighter; 1 knife and 1 bottle of gasoline.

Previously, on the night of September 2, 2017, at the private home of Mr. Nguyen Van Nhan (Hong Nam hamlet, Quang Thanh commune, Yen Thanh), a rice harvester was burned and destroyed. This harvester belonged to Mr. Phan Ba ​​Than, residing in Dong Xuan hamlet, Dong Thanh commune, Yen Thanh district.

Confessing to the police, Mr. Than said that he had been threatened many times by “protectionists” harvesting rice in Yen Thanh to get the difference in money, but he did not agree. After that, they threatened to break the machines, beat people, etc. Among them, the group of young men led by Dao Quang Tri had many times “wars of words”, even beating Mr. Than up.

During the verification process, the Task Force learned that Tri’s two “younger brothers”, Dang Ba Thuan and Nguyen Van Thong, had left the area. The police determined that Tri Tri’s group had burned and destroyed Mr. Than’s harvester in Quang Thanh commune in revenge.

After more than a month on the run, in early October 2017, when everything seemed to have gone smoothly, Thuan and Thong returned home from Ho Chi Minh City and were arrested by the police.

Based on the suspects' statements, on October 4, Yen Thanh District Police issued an emergency arrest warrant for Trinh Trong Nhat for concealing a crime because Nhat knew about the suspects' actions but did not report them.

Knowing he could not escape punishment, on October 6, 2017, the ringleader Dao Quang Tri surrendered himself to the Yen Thanh District Police Department.

At the investigation agency, the subjects stated that due to a conflict with Mr. Than in arranging the rice harvester to operate in the area, at about 11:30 p.m. on September 2, Tri, Thong and Thuan rode two motorbikes to Quang Thanh commune to burn and destroy Mr. Than's harvester.

Here, Tri instructed Thong to use a knife to cut the rice harvester belt and put 0.5 kg of nails into the engine compartment; then, Tri returned to the motorbike parking lot and gave Thong a bottle of gasoline to return and burn the rice harvester. After completing the act, all three got on their motorbikes and sped home.

The case is currently being investigated and expanded by Yen Thanh District Police.
