Upon receiving the news, Huong Thuy Town Police mobilized all forces to the scene to follow the trail and search for the perpetrator. After more than 1 hour of pursuit, at about 2:15 p.m. the same day, the police caught the perpetrator when he was hiding in the bushes about 1km away from the scene.
At the police station, the perpetrator confessed his name to be Nguyen Van Thanh (born in 1997, residing in Dong A village, Phu Luong commune, Phu Vang district, Thua Thien - Hue province).
Thanh Khai, on March 21, went gambling and lost everything after a night of gambling, so he had to pawn his motorbike. On the morning of March 22, Thanh stayed at a motel near the An Khang hotel and had the idea of sneaking into the motel to steal property.
At noon on March 22, he sneaked into An Khang motel and took a knife from the motel's reception desk. Thanh then saw Ms. Pham Thi Ngoc O. (born in 1989 - the motel owner's daughter) and saw that Ms. O. was sleeping, so he used a knife to control her and rob her, but met with resistance from the victim.
During the struggle, Thanh stabbed Ms. O. many times with a knife until she collapsed. After committing the crime, when people appeared, Thanh did not have time to take any property but had to leave the broken knife handle, mask, hat and sandals at the scene and ran to a bush about 1km away from the scene to hide and fell asleep due to exhaustion.
