Suspect poured concrete on body on hunger strike before confessing

According to the Binh Duong Provincial Procuracy, in the first days of their arrest, the four female suspects who murdered and disposed of the bodies of two victims in concrete barrels in Hung Hoa commune, Bau Bang district, remained silent and did not cooperate in taking statements.

Among them, Nguyen Ngoc Tam Huyen (40 years old, from Ho Chi Minh City) did not give her name, did not allow fingerprints or photos to be taken, did not talk to anyone and went on a hunger strike.

"Huyen also threatened that if anyone touched him, they would receive retribution," said the leader of Binh Duong People's Procuracy, adding that after two days of ideological struggle between investigators, Huyen confessed to his crime.

Huyen used to be a lecturer at a university in Ho Chi Minh City. While practicing the "cult" with Pham Thi Thien Ha (31 years old), the female suspect led the group to live at her apartment in District 12, before going to many other places in a seven-seater car.

Up to now, after 10 days of the incident, the investigation agency has not identified any other accomplices involved. Of the four women arrested, prosecuted, and detained for 4 months to investigate the act,Killing,Pham Thi Thien Ha (31 years old) plays a leading role.

Ha was the group leader, forcing members to hand over money and assets for him to manage and operate. In December 2018, Ha organized a group trip to Ba Ria - Vung Tau to "practice", including Mr. Tran Duc Linh (51 years old) and Tran Tri Thanh (26 years old).

After 10 days here, unable to bear the "fasting" rule imposed by Ha, Mr. Linh jumped out of the window from the first floor of the villa onto the lawn to escape. When discovered, Ha and Le Ngoc Phuong Thao (29 years old) took him into the room. When Mr. Linh screamed, they beat him, and he later died.

The group took the body back to the house in Hung Hoa commune, Bau Bang district, which they had rented two months earlier to dispose of it. During their next living together, thinking that Thanh had shown signs of lust when watching women bathing, violating the common rules, Ha and Huyen came up with a plan to kill him by electrocution and strangulation.

Ha then took her mother and the other two members to Thu Dau Mot City, 50 km from the house where the two bodies were dumped, and rented a hotel to continue practicing. On May 18, three days after the two bodies in two plastic barrels filled with concrete and tea were discovered by a cleaning man, Ha and her accomplices were arrested.
