People were beaten, the police did not prosecute but the prosecutor did.

Previously, the Thanh Chuong District Police Department received a criminal complaint from Ms. B with the following content: At about 7:00 p.m. on July 30, 2016, Ms. B's husband went away to work, and Ms. B was home alone when a young man came and put a knife to her neck and said: "Shut up", "I want you".

Ms. B. reacted and tried to run away, calling for help, but this person used a knife to control her, threatened her and forced her to leave the house and go to the deserted agricultural land. Ms. B. was stabbed in the neck and beaten until she fainted and was raped. After Ms. B. regained consciousness, she went home to get some pants to put on.

During the night, Ms. B. was taken to the emergency room with multiple injuries. Ms. B. had a knife cut on her neck, a knife cut on her left thumb, a wound on her abdomen, two wounds on the inside of her left thigh, a scratch on her shoulder blade behind her back, a fractured nasal bone, and a 1.5cm long cross-hatched wound on her right nostril. At the same time, the incident was reported to the police.

After that, Ms. B. was transferred to Thai An General Hospital (Vinh City) for treatment due to a fracture of the left maxillary sinus wall and swelling of the nasal turbinates on both sides, swelling of the soft tissue of the face on both sides... According to the assessment results of the Nghe An Provincial Forensic Center, Ms. B. suffered 10% injury.

On June 28, 2017, the Thanh Chuong District Police Department issued Official Dispatch No. 286 regarding "notification of handling of Ms. B's crime denunciation" stating: Subject Vo Van Danh (25 years old, residing in Vo Liet commune, Thanh Chuong district) was the one who used a knife to control Ms. B. Then, he used his hands and feet to beat and injure her and took off all of her pants.

Danh's act of using his hands and feet to beat and injure Ms. B. with a 10% injury rate is not enough to constitute the crime of intentionally causing injury.

Regarding Ms. B., it is said that in addition to the act of intentionally causing injury, Danh also committed rape. During the investigation, based on the testimony and evidence collected, the police agency had no basis to conclude that Danh committed rape as Ms. B accused.

Currently, the Thanh Chuong District Police Department has concluded the investigation of the case and decided not to prosecute the case. At the same time, it decided to fine Danh 2.5 million VND for violating the health of others.

Ms. B. filed a complaint regarding Notice No. 286 above. On July 18, 2017, the Thanh Chuong District Police Department issued Decision No. 01 on handling the complaint. The decision responded that Ms. B.'s claim that the content of the notice of results of handling denunciations, reports of crimes, or recommendations for prosecution by the Thanh Chuong District Police was not objective or accurate was "groundless".

Disagreeing with Decision No. 01 above, Ms. B. filed a complaint to the competent authority. On August 21, 2017, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Thuan - Chief Justice of Thanh Chuong District People's Procuracy signed Decision No. 02 on resolving Ms. B's complaint.

Decision of Thanh Chuong District People's Procuracy.

The content of the decision is: "Accept the complaint of Ms. B. about the Thanh Chuong District Police Investigation Agency not prosecuting the criminal case against Ms. B's crime denunciation. Annul the decisions of the Thanh Chuong District Police Investigation Agency including decision not to prosecute the criminal case No. 49; notice No. 286; decision to resolve complaint No. 01. Annul notice No. 11 of the Thanh Chuong District People's Procuracy.

Thanh Chuong District People's Procuracy decided to: Prosecute a criminal case for the crime of "Intentionally causing injury" according to the provisions of Article 104 of the Penal Code to investigate Ms. B's crime denunciation. Do not accept Ms. B's expert conclusion.

On August 27, 2017, the Thanh Chuong District Police Investigation Agency is investigating Vo Van Danh for intentionally causing injury./.
