Shooting people with a gun, sentenced to 7 years in prison
(Baonghean.vn) - On August 18, Nghe An Provincial People's Court opened a first-instance criminal trial against Le Sy Hao (born in 1974, from Thanh Hoa, residing in Hoa Binh town, Tuong Duong, Nghe An) for murder and illegal possession of military weapons.
According to the indictment of the Provincial People's Procuracy, because he no longer had feelings for his unmarried wife, Le Sy Hao left his wife's hometown in Do Luong to go to Tuong Duong and rented a phone repair kiosk to live. There, Hao met and had an affair with Ms. HTH, who worked as a cosmetics seller. After a while, the two had a conflict, and Ms. H. asked to break up. On the evening of October 17, 2013, Hao came home drunk, annoyed by his "lover's" attitude, so he went back to his room, took a pistol (left behind at the shop by a customer who came to repair his phone) and went to Ms. H.'s room to kill her.

D.'s father rushed in to restrain Hao, but Hao managed to escape and ran back to his room, closing the door and hiding in the room. D. was taken to the emergency room and had his wounds bandaged. When the Tuong Duong District Police arrived, Hao was still hiding in the room.
Although D.’s injuries were not life-threatening, and the family did not request a disability assessment or compensation for health damage, Hao’s actions constituted murder. Along with being charged with murder, Le Sy Hao was also charged with illegal possession of military weapons.
As the legal representative of the victim at the trial, Ms. NT T asked the court to consider reducing the sentence and not requiring Le Sy Hao to compensate for civil liability to D. Previously, the authorities had prosecuted Le Sy Hao for the act of illegally storing military weapons, but at the trial, it was found that the gun Hao used to commit the crime was a homemade gun, not similar to a military weapon, so there was not enough basis to convict. After comprehensively reviewing the evidence, the panel sentenced Le Sy Hao to 7 years in prison for murder.
