Unable to hold on to love, young man kills young woman

After his girlfriend broke up with him, Son begged to reconcile but failed, so he murdered her with dozens of stabs at a motel in Ho Chi Minh City.

On March 28, Binh Tan District Police (HCMC) detained Pham Ngoc Son (25 years old, from Dak Lak) to investigate the act of murder.

Earlier, on the evening of March 27, residents of Street No. 1 (Binh Hung Hoa Ward, Binh Tan District) heard a loud scream from a three-story boarding house. At the same time, a young man ran out with a knife in his hand, looking panicked. When he was held back, he slashed wildly and ran away.

Inside, they found the 18-year-old girl who was renting the room lying there gasping for breath, with multiple wounds. She was rushed to the hospital but died from 22 stab wounds.

At dawn on March 28, Son turned himself in, admitting to having a relationship with the girl. Recently, due to conflicts, the girl wanted to break up. He repeatedly begged and tried to win her back, but to no avail.

Yesterday morning, Son rode his motorbike from Nha Be district to meet his girlfriend to talk. However, the girl locked the door and did not come out to meet him. He waited until evening, when the door opened, then rushed in, explained and persuaded her but to no avail.

Son then went to the market to buy a knife and returned to the motel, stabbing the victim repeatedly, causing him to collapse. Frightened, Son abandoned his motorbike and ran, then took a motorbike taxi to Binh Trieu bridge with the intention of committing suicide, but was persuaded by relatives to change his mind./.
