Accordingly, at around 5:00 p.m. on June 7, Dung and Khang invited each other to go to Cha Ha stream through Canh Tong village to bathe. At around 6:30 p.m., Dung's family (living near the place where the two children were bathing) did not see their son come home for dinner, so they went to look for him and discovered two pairs of sandals near the stream bank and called for everyone to go look for him.
At around 7pm Dung's body was found near his slippers, but Khang's was nowhere to be found. Immediately after that, the local authorities mobilized forces to search for Khang. At around 10pm the same day, Khang's body was discovered about 200m away from where the two children had put their slippers down to bathe.
The bodies of the two children have been brought back to their families for burial according to local customs.
It is known that Dung and Khang are obedient and hard-working. Their families are both in very difficult circumstances, their father works far away.
