Young man jumped into river and was stoned to death
Surrounded and beaten by a group of young men, Phuong jumped into the Tien River and swam toward the embankment, but was hit with rocks and killed by the men.
On the morning of September 18, the Criminal Police Department (PC45) of Quang Nam Provincial Police announced that it had arrested three suspects related to the death of Nguyen Dinh Phuong (20 years old, residing in Tien Chau commune, Tien Phuoc district, Quang Nam).

The three arrested subjects include Le Xuan Duong (19 years old, residing in Tien Canh commune, Tien Phuoc), Duong Vinh Long (20 years old) and Pham Huynh Dat (19 years old, both residing in village 5, Tien Canh commune).
According to initial investigation results, on the evening of September 15, Phuong and some young men from Tien Chau commune were drinking at a pub on the Tien River embankment, in Tien Canh commune.
While drinking, two young men in Phuong's group, Nguyen Phuc Quang and Nguyen Van Son, had a conflict with Pham Huynh Dat and Tran Van Su (residing in village 4, Tien An commune, Tien Phuoc district).
Then, Dat called his group, Duong, Long and some other young men who were drinking nearby to come and solve the problem.
At this time, Son also called his group to support. However, because Dat's group was larger, Son's group ran away.
When Phuong ran down to the strip of land along the foot of the embankment on the Tien Ky side, Long, Dat and Duong immediately chased after her, so Phuong jumped into the Tien River and swam toward the embankment, but these subjects picked up rocks and threw them continuously at Phuong.
