The victim was Ms. Pham Thi Oanh (23 years old, from Ha Nam - 4th year student, Hue University of Education). This female student had just completed her duty as a proctor for the national high school graduation exam, at an exam site in Ha Tinh city.
According to Mr. Nguyen Tien Luc (victim's relative), on the evening of July 3, Ms. Oanh called a local taxi company to hire a car to take her to the church in Thach Ha commune, Ha Tinh city.
At around 9:30 pm, after the mass, Ms. Oanh got on this bus to visit a student's house in the Lower Hamlet. After sitting there for about 15 minutes, the female supervisor left.
At 9:46 p.m., while sitting in the car, Ms. Oanh texted her student to share that she felt worried because the taxi was taking her in a different direction.
Two minutes later, Ms. Oanh texted her student one last time about how uneasy she felt, before the 9X supervisor went missing and could not be reached by phone.
By noon on July 5, Ha Tinh Provincial Police had summoned suspect Nguyen Van Tien (residing in Thach Linh Ward, Ha Tinh City) to give his statement. At the police station, Tien confessed to murdering Ms. Oanh.
According to the suspect, on the evening of July 3, he drove the female supervisor from Thach Ha commune to Ha Tinh city. When they reached a deserted area, Tien suddenly stopped the car and strangled the 23-year-old female passenger, intending to steal her handbag containing her phone and 250,000 VND.

Mr. Nguyen Hai Loc, Head of Student Affairs Department (Hue University of Education) said that according to regulations, after completing the exam, the school will take the students home. On the afternoon of July 3, after finishing the last exam, Oanh asked to stay to attend church and return to her hometown. The school received news that after the church service, Oanh got into a taxi and disappeared. Currently, a working group from Hue University of Education has gone to Ha Tinh to get more information about the incident. |
