The father was beaten by his son until he was disabled but always hid the crime from his son.

(Baonghean.vn)- Local people said that the son had beaten his father many times, but Mr. Nguyen Vo Nang did not admit or report it, so the authorities did not have enough basis to handle the case.

» Nghe An: Arresting rebellious son who beat his father to the point of injury

The incident where the Hung Nguyen District Police Department initiated a case, prosecuted the accused, and issued a 2-month temporary detention order against Nguyen Van Toi (30 years old, residing in Hamlet 4, Hung Loi Commune) for the crime of Intentional Infliction of Injury is causing a stir and discussion among local people.

Since yesterday afternoon (December 13), when the police came to Nguyen Van Toi's house to read the arrest warrant, many people came to witness. Most people supported the police's timely arrest of the rebellious son who beat his father, Mr. Nguyen Vo Nang (58 years old), to handle him according to the law.

Mr. Nguyen Van Cao, a local resident, said: “Everyone here knows that Toi beat Mr. Nang. But partly because it was a family matter, no one dared to intervene, but more importantly, Mr. Nang hid it, saying he fell. However, it happened so many times that everyone in the neighborhood knew about it.”

It is known that Mr. Nang has 3 children, of which Toi is the eldest son, a younger brother is working in Russia, and one died nearly ten years ago.

Since losing his son, Mr. Nang has been sad and sometimes turned to alcohol. Because of that, Toi thought that his father had taken money from the house to sell alcohol, so he often scolded and beat him. In July 2017, Toi kicked his father out of the house and had to live alone in an abandoned house.

Knowing the incident, the neighbors were very angry at Toi's treatment and beating of his father. However, because of his resigned nature, Mr. Nang did not say a word to anyone. Because of that, although they were very upset, they could not do anything. Until the evening of November 23, Mr. Nang was beaten so badly that he had to be hospitalized, so the neighbors and the police got involved.

Next to the abandoned house where Mr. Nang lived, Ms. Hoang Thi Tr. said that she saw Mr. Nang being beaten by his son many times. The incident happened on the night of November 23rd, Ms. Tr. also witnessed it and could not believe that her son could beat her father so brutally.

“That day, I heard a lot of noise so I ran to the fence to look over and saw everything. Then he started beating my dad continuously. About 30 minutes later, he went out and brought gasoline back to continue beating and trying to burn his dad. Only then did he stop because a few people intervened,” Ms. Tr. said.

Mr. Tran Dinh Huyen - Deputy Chief of Hung Loi Commune Police said, only when he heard people talking did he know what happened. Immediately after that, the police summoned Nguyen Van Toi to the headquarters to verify. He asked Toi if he had ever seen or caught his father stealing anything, Toi said he had never. As for Mr. Nang, the police asked him but he still hid it and said he fell down himself and refused to say that his son hit him.

After his son’s near-death beating, Mr. Nang had to stay in the hospital for more than half a month. Currently, his health has stabilized and he has been temporarily taken to live at the home of his younger brother, Mr. Nguyen Tien Dao. With the encouragement and advice of his relatives, Mr. Nang has now written a complaint to the authorities.

Mr. Nang was then given a forensic examination of his injuries. The results showed that Mr. Nang suffered a 6% impairment at the time of the examination.

Accordingly, Mr. Nang suffered a fracture of the upper part of the fibula of his right leg (currently in a cast); was hit in the left hip, causing a fracture of 4.5 ribs in the left mid-axillary line. Some bruises on the right arm, left arm, under the right shoulder, under the left shoulder did not affect function.

At the Hung Nguyen district police station, Nguyen Van Toi admitted to beating his father. Toi said the reason was because he suspected Mr. Nang of stealing his money.

Toi worked as a truck driver on the Nghe An - Hanoi route and only came home once a week. At around 9pm on November 23, when he came home from work, he heard his mother say that some money was missing. He suspected that his father had stolen it. So, Toi took a glass bottle and went to the abandoned house where Mr. Nang lived.

At that time, Mr. Nang was sleeping when Toi rushed in and threatened his father, demanding that he pay. When Mr. Nang said he would not take the money, Toi repeatedly hit the victim. Not stopping there, Toi also pulled out a wooden stick and beat his father until he collapsed.

Discussing the incident, the leader of Hung Nguyen district police affirmed that although the victim's disability rate was only 6%, due to the reckless and violent behavior, the unit's view was to handle it seriously.
