Mother-in-law grabbed daughter-in-law's hair and slashed her 13 times.

Unable to kick her daughter-in-law out of the house and being argued with, Mrs. Hong angrily rushed in, grabbed her hair, and slashed her repeatedly with a knife.

On September 12, Ms. Hong (68 years old, Duc Thinh commune, Duc Tho, Ha Tinh) and her daughter-in-law named Loan had a conflict that led to a fight. Being kicked out of the house, the daughter-in-law told her mother-in-law "that land belongs to her ancestors" so her mother-in-law has no rights.

After saying that, Ms. Loan was slashed by Ms. Hong with a meat cleaver, grabbed by the hair and slammed into the wall. Or at home, Ms. Loan's husband ran home to stop her and took his wife to the emergency room.

Authorities determined that Ms. Loan was slashed 13 times, including 8 times with the back of a knife to the head, and 4 times with the blade to both wrists... Ms. Loan's health has now recovered.

At the commune police station, Ms. Loan said that after being a daughter-in-law for many years, the conflict happened because her mother-in-law often nagged and treated her harshly. Meanwhile, Ms. Hong said that her daughter-in-law did not "know her place" so she warned her.

"The two sides have reconciled and agreed to resolve the matter internally. The government requires Ms. Hong to take full responsibility before the law if her daughter-in-law has health problems," said Mr. Nguyen Ba Anh, Chief of Duc Thinh Commune Police.
