Cuong is said to have admitted to the crime. He was quite close and often went out drinking with the victim.
On February 21 (the 6th day of Tet), Cuong went to his fellow countryman's boarding house in Binh Hung Hoa ward (Binh Tan district) to visit. While drinking with his friends, he asked Quynh for 300,000 VND that he had borrowed earlier.
After a few arguments, a fight broke out between the two sides. Cuong grabbed a knife and stabbed his friend multiple times. The victim ran away for a while and then collapsed and died.
On his way to flee the scene, Cuong was caught on security camera. He wandered around many places and then returned to his hometown. After receiving the persuasion of the investigation agency, the suspect turned himself in.
