Before that, at around 0:40 on September 25, Tien took a knife to Mr. Nguyen Van Bich's house (51 years old, living in the same commune) and knocked on the door. When Mr. Bich opened the door, Tien stabbed him with a knife but luckily avoided it and injured his hand. At this time, Mrs. Hang (Mr. Bich's wife) ran out and was murdered by Tien with a knife in the yard.
Not stopping there, Mr. Nguyen Van Hoat (49 years old, Bich's younger brother) who lived next door heard the sound of the door opening and was murdered by Tien with a knife. Nguyen Van Hinh (13 years old, Hoat's son) saw the incident and ran to Bich's house to hide but was chased and slashed many times by Tien and fell down in the house.
After killing the three victims, Nguyen Xuan Tien continued to carry a knife to the house of Mr. Vu Xuan Nguyen (33 years old, more than 100m away). Seeing the gate locked, Tien immediately climbed over the gate into the house and used a knife to attack Mr. Nguyen's family, injuring three people. After that, Tien was subdued by the people there.
At the police station, Nguyen Van Tien confessed his crime.
The case is still under investigation.
