In 2011, Thuy Ngan married Pham Ngoc Duy and gave birth to N. (3 years old). Due to many conflicts in their married life, Ngan took her child back to her mother's house to live.

Thinking that her husband and family no longer cared about her, Ngan tried to escape by committing suicide. However, this mother wanted her child to “go” with her.

On March 9, Ngan took a Thai knife, put it in her bag, and took her child to rent a room at a motel in neighborhood 1 (Trang Dai ward, Bien Hoa city).

After leaving N. to sleep on the bed, Ngan wrote two suicide notes and then used a pillow to press down on N.'s face until she stopped breathing. Ngan then used a knife to commit suicide, but was discovered by the motel owner and taken to the emergency room in time, so she survived./.
