As reported by Nghe An Newspaper, on the afternoon of November 3, Nguyen Thi Tam (6th grade student, residing in Yen Thanh district) - granddaughter of Mrs. Huong went to attend a friend's birthday party. At around 4:30 p.m., Tam left early because her house was far away and she was afraid it would get dark. However, by the evening of the same day, her relatives still did not see Tam return, so they organized a search for her.
During the search, relatives discovered Tam’s hat and coat at the foot of Bau Ganh irrigation dam, with an electric bicycle on the shore. Suspecting that Tam had drowned, local people and police went to Bau Ganh dam to search but could not find him. On the morning of November 5, his body was discovered floating on Bau Ganh dam.
Extracting from the camera of the people on the roadside, the police recorded the time when Tam came back from the birthday party and met Mrs. Huong. After that, Mrs. Huong parked her bike and asked Tam to take her.
Nghe An Police Department said that according to Mrs. Huong’s statement, the main reason for her killing her grandson was due to family conflicts. Mrs. Huong is currently being held in criminal detention for further investigation.
