According to initial information, at around 3am on August 29, Ms. TTP (born 1989, residing in Dien Hoa commune) gave her child, NTQ (2 years old), pesticide. After her child died, Ms. P. also drank the pesticide and then carried her child to her in-laws' house.

Ms. P. then placed her child on the fence and returned home, but halfway there she fainted next to a pile of hay. Neighbors discovered the incident and, along with relatives, took the victims to the emergency room.

However, the baby had already died, and Ms. P. was transferred to the provincial General Hospital in critical condition. Despite the doctors' best efforts to save her, the victim did not survive.

Immediately after receiving the information, Dien Chau District Police and Nghe An Provincial Police arrived at the scene to coordinate with relevant agencies to conduct an autopsy and investigate the cause of the above case.

It is known that Ms. P. has 2 children. In 2016, Ms. P.'s husband died in a traffic accident, and since then, Ms. P.'s temperament has become erratic.

Currently, the case is being further investigated and clarified by the authorities.
