Dam - where Nguyen Thi Trang drowned |
According to the victim's family, at 2:00 p.m. on August 3, Trang went to herd buffaloes in Trai Phuong's hill garden, 500 meters from her house. At about 4:00 p.m., after the afternoon rain, not seeing her herd buffaloes back, Mr. Van looked for Trang but could not find her, only a hat left on the dam bank - where Trang often went to wash her feet when herding buffaloes. Thinking that his daughter was somewhere, he returned. At more than 5:00 p.m., he returned to look for her a second time, still seeing the hat left in the same place, thinking something was wrong, he jumped into the pond to search, and rescued his daughter, but Trang had drowned.
It is known that Trang is a good student, studious, and the oldest of two younger siblings.
