The perpetrator stabbed 5 elementary school students to vent his anger at his neighbor.
Suspected of theft, Minh took revenge, took a knife and killed his neighbor's son and injured many people.
Thanh Hoa Provincial Police Investigation Agency said that suspect Do Manh Chieu Minh (25 years old, living in Dong Luong commune, Lang Chanh) was transferred to Cau Cao detention camp to expand the investigation into the murder case that occurred at Dong Luong Primary School. Minh was prosecuted and detained for 4 months.
"The crime scene investigation and collected evidence show that it is likely that Minh alone committed the crime," an investigator said.

Minh told the police that he had been in conflict with Le Van Thuan (father of Le Huu Phuoc) for many years. Their houses were next to each other. Thuan had recently cursed at his family when they were frequently robbed. Minh was angry because he was being referred to him.
Another source from the investigation agency said that a few years ago, Thuan once teased Minh, smeared red liquid and water on his body, then threatened to infect him with HIV, which haunted him. Unable to get revenge on Thuan, Minh took out his anger on his son.
According to local authorities, Minh lives an eccentric life, has little contact with his neighbors, and shows signs of mental illness. The suspect is being asked to undergo a psychiatric evaluation to serve as a basis for handling the case.

At around 8:45 a.m. on May 3, Minh broke into Dong Luong Primary School with a knife, went to the second floor, rushed into class 5A and stabbed Le Huu Phuoc. On the way to escape, he stabbed 4 more students and a female teacher.
Phuoc was taken to the emergency room but died before arriving at the hospital. Currently, the five injured victims are in stable condition. The most serious is Pham Duc Huynh, 9 years old, who was stabbed in the right lung and had to undergo surgery to drain the pleura. He was transferred to a higher level to recover from his injuries and is out of danger.
Minh was arrested while hiding at the edge of a pond near the edge of a forest in Tan Phuc commune, more than 4 km from the scene. Initial test results showed that the suspect tested negative for drugs.
