On July 15, District 3 Police (HCMC) worked with Dam Minh Them (36 years old) - the suspect in the murder of a 37-year-old female employee at the Saigon Railway Transport Service Enterprise on Nguyen Thong Street.
According to initial investigation, after the divorce, Them recently went to his ex-wife's workplace to try to win back their relationship, hoping she would return to take care of their child together.
After many visits but not being accepted, Them developed hatred and intended to kill the person who used to sleep with him and then commit suicide. He prepared tape, rope... to carry out the plan.
On the afternoon of July 14, Them went to the store where the victim worked opposite Saigon station. After talking and arguing, he used a rope to strangle his ex-wife until she passed out.
Before leaving, Them left a letter saying he did not want her to live with another man and that the family should bury them together. In addition, the suspect asked relatives to raise the child and not let the parents' affairs affect the child's psychology.
Them called his ex-wife's mother and asked her to come to the scene to bring her daughter's body back for burial. When he returned home, he tried many ways to commit suicide such as hanging, electrocuting himself, and drinking weed killer, but he did not die. After being persuaded by his family, Them turned himself in to the police.
