Robbers who dragged woman to death arrested

A week after snatching a handbag that caused a woman to fall to her death, four young men ran to a deserted place, changed the license plate, and threw the motorbike into the sea to destroy the evidence.

On the afternoon of May 27, Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Hong Ky - Deputy Chief of Nha Trang City Police (Khanh Hoa) - said that Bui Quang Khoi, Le Trung Gia Huy, Le Minh Duy, and Nguyen Duc Anh were being detained for investigation of robbery.

Initially, the robbers confessed that at noon on May 20, they rode motorbikes around alleys in Nha Trang (Khanh Hoa) looking for property to snatch. When they reached Pham Van Dong Street, they saw a woman riding a motorbike with a bag, so the group approached her intending to "rob her" but because there were so many people, they could not do anything.

Driving a little further, he discovered Ms. Nguyen (32 years old) driving in the opposite direction. Huy asked Duc Anh to take him and turned around to chase after her. When they reached Duong De area, Huy snatched her bag, causing Ms. Nguyen to fall and be dragged several meters.

Seeing many passersby shouting and chasing, the two robbers dropped the bag and sped away. Khoi and Duy ran after them to "block the area" so that their accomplice could escape. After running for more than a kilometer, they reached a deserted place and removed the license plate and threw the motorbike into the sea.

The victim was taken to the emergency room but died two days later from a traumatic brain injury. During the investigation, the police arrested the suspects after a week on the run. "They robbed to get money to play fish shooting games," the robbers confessed.

The case continues to be investigated and clarified.
