According to authorities, on the afternoon of September 18, Lan lost 7,000 VND, so she questioned her two children, aged 13 and 16. The mother confessed to torturing her children, forcing them to get into a sack and jump into a pond.

When the children crawled ashore, Lan was suspected of forcing them to drink weed killer. The eldest son, 16, drank the entire bottle. The mother then took her son to the emergency room, but his health condition was critical and he had to be transferred to Bach Mai Hospital in Hanoi for treatment.

On September 19, Lan surrendered to the police and is currently on bail because she has a child under 36 months old.

On the afternoon of September 21, the Chairman of Gia Phu Commune People's Committee said that the 16-year-old victim was being treated in the hospital, and the second son, 13, had returned to school. Lan and her husband were divorced but still lived together. When the incident occurred, the husband was working in Lao Cai City.
