At around 10:00 p.m. on January 19, 2018, Nguyen Hai Manh Hung drove a KIA CERATO car with license plate 37A - 30.180 carrying Nguyen Hai Manh Cuong, Nguyen Huu Viet, and Pham Van Son to dinner. While traveling on Quang Trung Street, Block 9, Quang Trung Ward, Vinh City, Nguyen Hai Manh Cuong discovered Pham Phuc Manh's group sitting and drinking water on the sidewalk.
Due to a previous conflict with Mr. Pham Phuc Manh, Nguyen Hai Manh Cuong repeatedly urged Nguyen Hai Manh Hung to drive his car into a group of young people in revenge. Nguyen Hai Manh Hung drove his car onto the sidewalk and crashed straight into Manh's group, hitting Duong Xuan Hieu, causing Hieu to fall and hit his head on the road, causing 63% injury.
After Hung crashed the car, Manh's group ran away in all directions. At that time, Viet, Cuong, and Son got out of the car and chased after them with knives. Viet caught up and slashed Phan Thien Binh's arm, causing a 1% injury.
After the incident, Nguyen Huu Viet went to the Investigation Agency headquarters to surrender. As for Nguyen Hai Manh Hung, who escaped, the Investigation Police Agency issued a wanted notice and separated the case and will handle it later when he is arrested. Nguyen Hai Manh Cuong was arrested and detained at the Nghe An Provincial Police Detention Center from March 13, 2018 until now.
The panel of judges determined that Nguyen Hai Manh Cuong's actions were particularly dangerous to society and must be strictly punished by law. However, based on mitigating circumstances such as the defendant's honest confession; good character and being under 16 years old who committed the crime. The panel of judges sentenced Nguyen Hai Manh Cuong to 3 years in prison for the crime of "Murder". Regarding civil matters, the panel of judges ordered the family of defendant Nguyen Hai Manh Cuong to compensate the victim Duong Xuan Hieu with the amount of 277,370,700 VND.
