The 'flirting' scene and the early morning chase at the karaoke bar
After a "flirting" scene at a karaoke bar at dawn, a fight broke out, and one person was suddenly stabbed to death.
On August 27, Hanoi People's Court brought Nguyen Tuan Anh and Pham The Dat (both born in 1993, living in Hoan Kiem) to trial for "Murder".
In relation to the case, Tran Dinh Nam (born 1994, in Tay Ho), Trieu Minh Duc (born 1995, in Hoang Mai) and Vu Quoc Anh (born 1995, in Dong Da) were brought to trial for disturbing public order.

Previously, at 11:00 p.m. on February 25, 2019, Mr. La Hoang Nam (born in 1989, in Nam Tu Liem) and a group of friends, including Tran Dinh Nam and Trieu Minh Duc, went to a karaoke bar on Phuc Tan street.
At around 0:50 the next day, Hoang Nam's group went down to the reception desk to pay and met Vu Quoc Anh's group waiting for their turn to get a karaoke room.
At this time, Dinh Nam "teased" a female in Hoang Nam's group, Ms. Nguyen Ngoc Anh (born in 1996). This caused the two groups to exchange words and then fight.
Seeing the fight, the karaoke bar manager tried to stop it and called the police for help.
Immediately afterwards, the Phuc Tan Ward Police arrived to maintain order and disperse the crowd. However, Hoang Nam's group refused to comply, continued to curse, push, and pick up bricks to throw at the shop door...
Inside the bar, Quoc Anh called Nguyen Tuan Anh to come and “assist”. After receiving the call, Tuan Anh brought 2 knives and went to the karaoke bar with Pham The Dat.
Upon arriving, defendant Tuan Anh rushed forward and stabbed La Hoang Nam in the back with a kitchen knife. The victim collapsed in the middle of the road and died shortly thereafter. After committing the crime, Tuan Anh and Dat fled.
The trial on August 27 was absent from a number of people involved. Furthermore, one of the two defendants charged with “Murder” wanted to invite another lawyer to defend him. Therefore, the trial had to be postponed to another day.
