Shooting to control and arrest drug addict who stabbed young wife to death

At noon on June 23, Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Hong Ky - Chief of Nha Trang City Police confirmed that a murder had just occurred in Vinh Phuoc Ward, Nha Trang City at around 3:30 a.m. the same day.

Initial information said that due to a conflict, at that time, Nguyen Minh Tien (33 years old) and Nguyen Thi Ngoc Tuoi (18 years old) - both living in a rented room in Dang Tat, Vinh Phuoc ward, Nha Trang city, argued loudly. In the middle of the argument, Tien took a knife and stabbed Tuoi many times, causing the victim to die.

Hearing the victim's cries for help after being stabbed, some nearby residents came to intervene, but Tien closed the door and barricaded himself inside the house, holding a knife.

When the 113 Police of the Social Order Administrative Management Department of Khanh Hoa Provincial Police arrived, Tien did not open the door of the rented room but still held a knife in his hand, loudly shouting, threatening, and challenging.

After more than 2 hours of unsuccessful persuasion, the 113 Police and Vinh Phuoc Ward Police fired warning shots into the air to control the situation, broke down the door, entered the house, confiscated the weapon, and arrested the murderer.

At the scene, police discovered signs of drug use. When arrested, Nguyen Minh Tien was still hallucinating while high on crystal meth. A source said that because he lost a football bet, Tien got into an argument with Tuoi and used crystal meth before committing the murder.

The Criminal Police Department and the Criminal Techniques Department of Khanh Hoa Provincial Police coordinated with Nha Trang City Police to examine the scene and the body to investigate and handle Nguyen Minh Tien for murder according to the law.
