On August 31, Mr. Nguyen Xuan Giap, Chairman of the People's Committee of Dien Hoa Commune, Dien Chau District, said that the local government and the family are organizing a funeral for Ms. TTP (born in 1989, residing in Dien Hoa Commune) according to local customs.

According to Mr. Giap, Ms. P. married a man from the same neighborhood and settled in Dong Nai for many years. There, the couple had a small house and two sons. In 2017, the husband had a traffic accident and passed away.

After that, she took her husband's body and children back to her hometown. At this time, because her father had cancer, Ms. P. applied to work as a factory worker in the Nam Cam industrial park, about 25km from home. However, from then on, Ms. P.'s personality changed and she became less talkative.

Talking about this, Ms. Le Thi Xoan (born in 1962, P.'s mother) said: "After her husband passed away in an accident, I was worried that she would be too heartbroken, so I advised her to stay home and find a job. But I didn't expect that because of that, P. would become pessimistic and seek death."

According to Ms. Xoan, on August 28, she and her youngest son went to Hanoi to complete procedures for labor export, but when they heard the bad news, they immediately returned. Later, she discovered a number of letters from her son before he died, most of which were unfinished.

The content of the letters said that Ms. P. hated life and had intended to commit suicide for a long time. But because her children were still young, Ms. P. had only persevered until today.

Accordingly, after waiting for her mother to leave, in the early morning of August 29, Ms. TTP mixed milk containing pesticides for her youngest child NTQ to drink first, then gave it to her eldest child. However, because the milk had a strange taste, Q. cried and refused to drink it. Fearing that her family would find out, P. had to drink the remaining medicine and then carry Q. away.

Ms. P. then placed her child on the fence and returned, but halfway there, she fainted next to a pile of straw after being drugged. 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.

Mr. Cao Thanh Le, Chief of Dien Hoa Commune Police, Dien Chau District, affirmed that Ms. TTP never caused any conflicts or hatred with anyone in her life.

Therefore, the possibility that Ms. P. and her son were poisoned by someone else is very low. However, the incident is still being investigated and clarified by the authorities.
