Nghe An: While herding buffalo, a 7th grade female student drowned.

(Baonghean.vn) - It was dark, but Huyen still had not returned, so her family immediately went to look for her and discovered that Truong Thi Huyen (14 years old), residing in Hoang Trang hamlet, Tan Xuan commune, Tan Ky (Nghe An), had slipped while taking the buffalo to drink water at Vuc Tron stream.

According to Ms. Truong Thi Khoai, a relative of the victim, at around 6pm on May 29, after waiting for a long time but still not seeing her return, suspecting something was wrong, the family immediately went looking for her and discovered Huyen's sandals right on the bank of Vuc Tron stream (about 500m from the house). After 30 minutes of diving down to search, they were able to retrieve her body.

Huyen's family burned incense at the area where Huyen slipped and drowned.

Locals here said that a few days ago it rained quite heavily so the stream water rose high, some places were very deep and had lots of rocks. Where the incident happened, the water was about 4-5m deep, surrounded by dense trees, and there were no houses.

It is known that Huyen is a 7th grade student, very obedient and polite, her family is poor, her mother has to work far away, so she lives with her grandmother.

After the tragic incident, the victim was brought home for burial according to custom. Local authorities and people promptly visited and encouraged the family to overcome the pain.
