On July 7, the leader of Ba Don town police (Quang Binh) said that two men who were surrounded and beaten by hundreds of people two days ago were not related to the case of a missing 6-year-old boy.These two people are Mr. Nguyen Huu Hung (28 years old) and Mr. Dao Dinh Vinh (45 years old, both residing in Thanh Mien district, Hai Duong).

"They only work as mosquito sprayers for hire," said Lieutenant Colonel Le Van Hoa - Chief of Ba Don Town Police and added,These two people came to Quang Binh 4 days ago, rented a house and brought a spray bottle to invite people to spray mosquito repellent.

On July 5, when they entered residential group 8 (Quang Phong ward), they were surrounded and assaulted by hundreds of people because they saw strangers and suspected them of kidnapping children.

The authorities arrived early to restore order but were powerless due to the small force against the large crowd. Of the two, Mr. Vinh had to be hospitalized for two days. The Ba Don authorities are investigating the people who assaulted the two people spraying insecticide to take appropriate action.

Two days ago, hundreds of people rushed to beat two mosquito sprayers because they suspected them of kidnapping children.

Late afternoon on July 3, boy Tran Trung Nghia (6 years old, residing in Quang Long ward, Ba Don town) was suspected of being kidnapped, and his family has not yet found him.
