Man hunts down victim to 'avenge' his son
While the father went into the house to get a knife and go find his fellow countrymen to "talk", his two sons tried to run after him to stop him but failed.
The Hanoi People's Procuracy has just completed the indictment to prosecute defendant Ngo Van Hieu (born 1977, in Chuong My district) for murder.
Previously, on April 14, 2022, Ngo Thanh Tung (born in 2002) borrowed the nick of his younger brother Ngo Tuan Anh (born in 2004) to text and play games with Dang Thanh Trung (born in 1994, living in the same Thuy Huong commune, Chuong My district). Meanwhile, Trung used the nick of Tao Duc Thinh (born in 2006, living in the same village) to play games.
While texting and playing games together, Tung and Trung had a conflict and argued with each other. Tung did not know that the person playing the game with him was Trung but thought it was Nguyen Cong Minh (Cao Duc Thinh's cousin). Therefore, at around 9:30 p.m. the same day, Tung invited his younger brother Ngo Tuan Anh to the kiosk where Minh's family was staying at Cau market (Chuong My district) to curse Minh.
When he arrived, Tuan Anh threw a brick into the house, hitting Minh in the leg. Because he was in pain and angry at being harassed by Tung and Tuan Anh for no reason, Minh took an iron pipe and carried it to the door.
At this time, Tuan Anh and Tung stood in front of Minh's house and continued to throw bricks at the homeowner's left hand. Angry, Minh used an iron bar to hit Tung's left hand, causing it to bleed. Because Minh fought back, Tung and Tuan Anh ran home.
Seeing his son bleeding from his hand, the suspect Ngo Van Hieu asked what happened. After hearing the story, Hieu angrily went into the house to get a knife and then drove his motorbike to Minh's house to find him. Seeing their father leave with the knife, Tuan Anh and his brother ran after him to stop him.
When arriving at Minh's house, the suspect stopped the car, cursed, and rushed into the house. Minh was at the door and saw Hieu coming with a knife, so he ran inside. After chasing Minh to the steps, Hieu approached, took a knife, and stabbed Minh once in the chest. The victim tried to avoid it, so the knife hit his right arm.
At that time, the defendant stabbed the victim once more in the neck, causing Minh to bleed. Minh ran out of the house and was chased by Hieu.
After being stopped by everyone, Hieu stopped chasing and beating Minh and left with his two children. The victim was then taken to the emergency room by his family. Forensic examination showed that Minh suffered 5% injuries.
After committing the crime, Hieu fled his residence. On December 14, 2023, Hieu was prosecuted and temporarily detained by the investigation agency to investigate the crime of murder.
In July 2022, the family of the defendant Hieu compensated Mr. Minh 40 million VND. Mr. Minh received the money and did not request further compensation. At the same time, he submitted a request to exempt Hieu from criminal prosecution.
It is known that in 2008, Hieu was sentenced by the People's Court of Chuong My district to 24 months in prison for disturbing public order. In 2015, the defendant was sentenced by the People's Court of Ha Dong district to 26 months in prison for illegally possessing narcotics.
