According to investigators, for months, Mrs. Tuyet suspected her husband, Mr. Hoa (62 years old), of having an affair with Dam Thi Thuy (born in 1997, residing in Nghia Dan district), who is currently temporarily residing in Nghi Phu commune (Vinh City). Recently, upon learning that Thuy was pregnant, Mrs. Tuyet suspected that the 19-year-old girl's unborn child was her husband's, causing her jealousy to reach its peak.
On August 10th, Tuyet contacted Luu Viet Ben (Thuy's uncle) and hired him for 3,000,000 dong (three million dong) to assault Thuy by cutting her hair, tearing her clothes, and recording a video. Ben agreed to the "contract" and then enlisted Nguyen Van Tuan and Nguyen Viet Dan to help carry it out.
On August 11th, Ben's group went to Thuy's room, slapped her in the face, Dan went down to the kitchen to get a pair of scissors and cut Thuy's hair, while Tuan used Ben's phone to take pictures and stole two of the victim's phones.
