According to Hoi's statement, on the night of December 25, due to a sore leg, he went to Quynh Lap Central Dermatology and Leprosy Hospital (facility 2 located in Quynh Thien ward, Hoang Mai town) for examination and admission procedures. At dawn on December 26, Hoi got up to smoke and was reminded by some patients in the room. At this time, the nurse on duty was present to remind Hoi, so he went into the bathroom to smoke. Angry at being reminded, Hoi then set fire to the hospital room. Hoi also used a broom to break the glass door of the hospital room. Nurse Le Thi H. came in to stop her but was suddenly grabbed by the hair and restrained by Hoi.
