Young man jumps into river and is stoned to death.
Surrounded and attacked by a group of young men, Phuong jumped into the Tien River and swam towards the embankment, but the attackers picked up stones and threw them at him, causing his death.

The three arrested individuals are Le Xuan Duong (19 years old, residing in Tien Canh commune, Tien Phuoc district), Duong Vinh Long (20 years old), and Pham Huynh Dat (19 years old, both residing in Hamlet 5, Tien Canh commune).
According to initial investigations, on the evening of September 15th, Phuong and several other young men from Tien Chau commune were drinking alcohol at a pub along the Tien River embankment in Tien Canh commune.
While drinking together, 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 (residents of Hamlet 4, Tien An Commune, Tien Phuoc District).
Then, Dat called his group, including Duong, Long, and some other young men who were drinking nearby, to come and settle the matter.
At this point, Son also called his group for support. However, because Dat's group was larger, Son's group fled.
When Phuong ran down the strip of land along the embankment on the Tien Ky side, Long, Dat, and Duong chased after her, so Phuong jumped into the Tien River and swam towards the embankment, but these individuals picked up stones and threw them repeatedly at Phuong.
