At around 6:00 p.m. last night, Lam Thanh H. (31 years old, residing in Chau Phong commune, Tan Chau town) came to massage facility 77 while drunk.
Here, H. received a massage from Phuong Anh. According to the agreement, Phuong Anh gave H. a “relaxing” massage for 500,000 VND.

Phuong Anh received the tip, then went down to the parking lot, opened the trunk, took out a Thai knife with a yellow plastic handle, and held it in her hand, intending to cut something.
At this time, H. came down from upstairs, suddenly pulled out his belt and hit Phuong Anh. The female massage attendant stabbed H. in the left side of his ribs, causing the young man to collapse on the spot and die shortly after.
