Truong Thi Thao |
According to the investigation agency's documents, in 2012, Truong Thi Thao (an 11th grade student at Tien Lu District High School) and some friends went to meet Nguyen Thu Trang (19 years old, a 9th grade student at Hong Quang Secondary School, An Thi District). Thao made up a story that Trang beat her friend's younger brother and forced Trang to give Thao money or she would tell Trang's mother that she beat her friend.
Afraid that her family would find out, Trang stole money and gold from her family many times and gave it to Thao. Knowing that Trang came from a wealthy family and owned a gold shop, Thao tried every way to get money from Trang. Seeing that it was so easy to get money from Trang, Thao kept asking Trang for money.
The regular amount was 2-3 million, the most was 11 million and many other gold jewelry. In addition, Thao forced Trang to buy personal items for herself many times such as electric bicycles, iPhones...
On February 28, Thao continued to send threatening messages, demanding that Trang hand over 40 million VND and gold jewelry. After losing too much money and worrying about the impact on her studies, Trang decided to report to the police. Immediately after receiving the report, the Investigation Security Agency of Hung Yen Province Police coordinated with other functional units to catch Truong Thi Thao red-handed receiving 20 million VND and many other gold necklaces from Nguyen Thu Trang.
At the investigation agency, Thao confessed that from 2012 until the time of his arrest, he had threatened to take Trang's money up to 300 million VND and many other gold jewelry. It is known that Thao's father died, her mother went to the Central region to get married, and Thao lived with her uncle since childhood. The lack of family management and education led to the above heartbreaking incident. The case is also a lesson for parents to pay attention to their children to avoid unfortunate events like the one in the above incident.
