The defendants at the trial

According to the indictment of the Provincial People's Procuracy, on the morning of January 21, 2013, Mr. Nguyen Quang Hanh (born in 1977, residing in Nghi Thiet, Nghi Loc, Nghe An) and his father, Nguyen Quang Minh, went to the Cosevco Company branch to demand the company return the remaining deposit that Mr. Hanh had previously paid for overseas employment in Angola. Upon learning that Mr. Hanh and his father had come to demand their money, Pham Viet Van (born in 1974, residing in Vinh City) - Director of the Cosevco Company branch - instructed Le Van Trong (born in 1961, residing in Vinh City), Nguyen Van Thanh (born in 1963, residing in Vinh City), and Cu Hoang Oai (born in 1987, residing in Vinh City) to call Ho Duy Nga (born in 1974, residing in Vinh City) to escort Mr. Hanh and his father out of the company.

Ho Duy Nga called Ngo Quang Hung (born 1989), Pham Van Nguyen (born 1991, residing in Vinh Tan commune, Vinh City), Nguyen Van Hoan (born 1991, residing in Hamlet 13, Nghi Phu commune, Vinh City), and Ton That Hoang (born 1989, residing in Vinh Tan, Vinh City) to the company to abduct Hanh and his son. There, the group beat and dragged Hanh out of the company premises. During the struggle, Pham Van Nguyen used a sharp knife he was carrying to stab Hanh in the back, causing his death on the way to the hospital. Upon learning of Hanh's death, Ho Duy Nga called his accomplices and told them to hide.

The Provincial People's Court sentenced Pham Van Nguyen to 15 years in prison for murder. Pham Viet Van was sentenced to 24 months in prison for disturbing public order and 6 months for failing to report a crime. Ho Duy Nga and Ngo Quang Hung were sentenced to 2 years in prison for disturbing public order and 1 year for failing to report a crime. Nguyen Van Thanh and Cu Hoang Oai were sentenced to 12 months in prison for disturbing public order and 6 months for failing to report a crime. Ton That Hoang was sentenced to 15 months in prison for disturbing public order and failing to report a crime. Le Van Trong and Nguyen Van Hoang were sentenced to 15 months in prison for disturbing public order. Le Van Hai, who was present at the company branch office at the time of the incident and knew that Hanh had been stabbed to death by Nguyen but did not report it to the authorities, was sentenced to 6 months of suspended imprisonment for failing to report a crime, with a probationary period of 12 months.

In this case, Dang Thi Hong Nhung (born in 1984) - Hung's girlfriend - despite knowing that Nguyen and his accomplices stabbed Hanh to death, allowed Hung, Nguyen, Hoan, and Hoang to stay at her rented room. Later, she and Hung rented a location for the suspects to evade the law, so she was prosecuted for concealing a crime and sentenced to 6 months of suspended imprisonment, with a 12-month probation period.
