On August 16th, the Bac Lieu Provincial People's Court held a first-instance criminal trial for the "Murder" case against defendant Le Chi Nguyen (34 years old, residing in Long Dien Dong commune, Dong Hai district, Bac Lieu province).

The victim was Nguyen Bich Hien (25 years old, more than 18 weeks pregnant). The court sentenced the defendant to death.

According to the indictment, at approximately 4 PM on January 2, 2017, the defendant Nguyen went to the crab breeding farm of Mr. Cao Huu Nghi (husband of Ms. Hien - residing in Long Dien commune, Dong Hai district, Bac Lieu province) to borrow an oxygen blower.

Since Mr. Nghi wasn't home at the time, Ms. Hien suggested that Nguyen call Mr. Nghi directly to ask to borrow the money.

Nguyện wanted to borrow a phone, but Mr. Nghị refused. Nguyện walked around the camp several times and saw an unused oxygen blower, so he asked Ms. Hiền: "Why don't you let me borrow that spare machine?"

Ms. Hien asked Nghi to leave the crab breeding farm. At this point, Ms. Hien walked away to the front, and Nguyen followed her. Suddenly, he pulled out a knife and stabbed Ms. Hien repeatedly, causing her death on the spot.

After committing the crime, Nguyen quickly fled the scene but was arrested shortly afterward.

After deliberation, the Bac Lieu Provincial People's Court sentenced defendant Le Chi Nguyen to death.
