Mother was shocked to hear that her son had chopped off a woman's limbs.

Ms. Hoi did not expect that her timid eldest son would dare to swing a knife and slash someone. After not sleeping all night, the mother thought that Doanh was being seduced to do such a thing.

Since learning that her son was involved in the case of cutting off the limbs of a 30-year-old woman in Phuc Tho district (Hanoi) to receive a sum of money, Ms. Dao Thi Hoi (Doan Van Doanh's mother, in Phuc Tho, Hanoi) has been in tears.

Late in the afternoon of August 25, when guests came to her house, she tried to smile and welcome them, but her eyes could not hide her worry about her 21-year-old son. The mother burst into tears after each time she called Doanh, but he did not answer. She said she could not sleep because she was afraid her son would think of something stupid and harm himself.

Mother's feelings

Only after visiting the old level 4 house with its back to the high-rise apartment building in Van Phuc commune twice did the reporter meet Doanh's mother. Compared to women of the same age of 40, Ms. Hoi looked much older. Barefoot, she stepped out to greet the guests, nodded slightly, her lips tightly pressed together to suppress the sobs that were making her eyes well up with tears.

The old table and chairs in the middle of the room and the thick flat screen TV were the two valuable things in the house. Without a man’s hand, the broken tiled roof had no one to fix it, and the sunlight shone obliquely on the water-stained walls.

Ms. Hoi’s husband became addicted to drugs when Doanh was only one year old. After many years of dependence on stimulants, the police took this man to rehab. With no one to support her, Ms. Hoi worked alone to earn money to raise her three children.

According to the local official who led the group of reporters to Ms. Hoi's house, Doanh had not finished high school and worked as a welder every day with an acquaintance. The whole family saved up enough money to build a house with a cement roof, but the heat was unbearable and they had to take shelter at their uncle's house.

At noon on August 24, Ms. Hoi was informed by a relative that her son had caused the incident. "My legs were numb, I couldn't sleep all night. He was very gentle, I didn't expect this," the woman wiped away her tears, saying she didn't know how her son knew Nien. At first, Doanh answered the phone but didn't tell the whole story. When her mother asked, the young man didn't answer and left that day.

Ms. Hoi said that before that, her son had not shown any unusual signs. Doanh still went to work every day, had no debts, and did not need to buy anything valuable. The motorbike he used to go to work was the money that both mother and son had saved.

"I'm so sad, afraid that my child will do something wrong and won't dare come home and harm himself. His father is like that, I just hope the authorities will give him a chance to do business without being criticized," Ms. Hoi said in tears.

'Faulty script' of the person who hired someone to cut off limbs to get 3.5 billion: The scenario of hiring someone to cut off limbs was exposed, the mother of two did not receive the 3.5 billion insurance. She is now forced to move around with a wooden leg.

Suspected of being seduced

Hearing the story, Mr. Dao Van Hieu (Ms. Hoi's younger brother)'s eyes also turned red. As someone who often talked to Doanh, Mr. Hieu thought that his nephew had little experience so he was seduced by others.

The uncle said that in private moments, he still listened to Doanh confide in him. Although disappointed in his father, Ms. Hoi's son loved his mother and two younger siblings very much and was not afraid to go far away to work hard.

"How can I understand? He's too timid to even talk, how could he dare to use a knife to cut off someone's leg? It's definitely not for money, maybe he was too stupid to be taken advantage of," Ms. Hoi's younger brother asserted.

Recalling the past, Mr. Hieu said that about half a month ago, Doanh got drunk and appeared depressed. His uncle asked him what happened, but the young man did not say anything. Several times there were parties at home, but Doanh did not come over to eat.

For the past two days, he has called and texted many times but his nephew has not responded. Hiep is also afraid that Doanh will think of doing something foolish. "The family is poor, his father is involved in social evils, now with this added, who will dare to marry him? With such a bad reputation, how will his future develop?", the uncle cried when opening the door of the house that Hoi and her husband built but had to leave empty.

Early morning of May 5, Bac Tu Liem District Police (Hanoi) received a report from Doan Van Doanh about a railway accident that occurred in Phu Dien ward.

During the investigation, the police did not record any signs of a railway accident. Analyzing the victim's testimony, the investigators discovered some inconsistencies, leading to suspicions that her injuries may not have been caused by a railway accident. The police discovered that Ly Thi Nien (30 years old) had just purchased insurance with a payout of about 3.5 billion VND.

As for Doanh, after the incident, he provided a false name and age. He changed his SIM card and phone number to cut off contact with the authorities, showing signs of absconding.

Nearly 3 months after the incident, the investigation agency found Doanh and Nien and summoned them to confront them. Nien confessed that due to business losses and debt that he could not pay, he hired Doanh to cut off his limbs for 50 million VND, creating a fake crime scene to appropriate 3.5 billion VND in insurance money.
