At the investigation agency, Zhuogen confessed that at the end of 2018, through matchmaking, Xiong Zhuogen married Ms. Hong D. (19 years old) but did not register the marriage.
In January 2019, D. went to China to live with Xiong Zhuogen. In May 2019, unable to bear life in a foreign country, D. fled back to Vietnam.
On June 2, Zhuogen went to Vietnam and went to his wife's parents' house to visit his wife. At 9:00 a.m. on June 9, only Xiong Zhuogen and Mrs. Diep were left at home. Mrs. Diep was drying clothes in the kitchen. Xiong Zhuogen went to ask Mrs. Diep where his wife was. She said that he was not home and that if Xiong Zhuogen was still here, he would not return.
Xiong Zhuogen asked Ms. Diep for money to return to China. Ms. Diep said she had no money, so the two argued. Ms. Diep used a hook to hit Xiong Zhuogen. Angry and seeing a piece of wood, Xiong Zhuogen picked it up and hit Ms. Diep many times on the head. She ran outside but was dragged back into the house.
During the struggle, Ms. Diep took out a knife to stab Xiong Zhuogen, but before she could, Xiong Zhuogen grabbed her and pushed the knife into her chest. Next, Xiong Zhuogen took another piece of wood and used the knife to hit Ms. Diep, then continued to hit her with the stick until Ms. Diep died.
After committing the crime, Zhuogen gathered his clothes and fled but was discovered and arrested by the police.
