(Baonghean.vn) - The suspect was determined to have used a shovel handle to repeatedly hit the victim, leading to his death. The reason was simply a conflict over a debt of 35 million VND.
On May 10, information from the Criminal Police Department of Nghe An Police said that the Investigation Police Agency of Nghe An Province Police has just issued a decision to prosecute and detain Vu Van Minh (born in 1986, residing in Trung Thanh commune, Yen Thanh district) for 3 months to investigate the crime of murder.

As previously reported by Nghe An Newspaper, on the evening of April 27, when Mr. Tuyen passed by Minh's house, he was stopped. An argument broke out between the two, the reason being that Mr. Tuyen owed Minh some money.
“Minh used a shovel handle to repeatedly hit my brother. After receiving a call from the people, we took Tuyen to the Trung Thanh Commune Health Station for emergency treatment, then transferred him to the Provincial General Hospital. At around 10 p.m. the same day, Tuyen died,” said Nguyen Tho Dung, a relative of the victim.
According to the victim’s family, about a month ago, Mr. Tuyen borrowed 70 million VND from Minh. Mr. Tuyen paid 35 million VND and asked to pay the remaining amount in a few days. But before he could pay, the above incident happened.
Outraged by Mr. Tuyen's death, from the evening of April 27 to the evening of April 28, his family brought the coffin containing the victim's body to Minh's unfinished house, asking the investigation agency to clarify the cause of the victim's death.
