According to the case file, on August 30, 2009, Nghia broke into a house in the same neighborhood, killed a woman, stole more than 1 tael of 18K gold, a cell phone, and then fled.
Two months later, Ca Mau Provincial Police prosecuted and issued a nationwide search for Nghia.
To avoid being arrested by the police, Nghia went to Binh Thuan, changed his name to Son Lam, and lived a vagrant life.
In particular, he chose to continuously commit minor crimes such as theft or drug addiction to go to prison, or was forced to go to educational or drug rehabilitation facilities to avoid arrest for 10 years.
During the investigation, 4 days ago, Ca Mau Provincial Police detectives discovered Nghia at a drug addiction treatment facility in Phu My commune, Phu Long town, Ham Tan Bac district (Binh Thuan), so they coordinated with local police to arrest him.
