After living together for a while, D and Nua had a conflict because Nua discovered that D had sold all of Nua's gold to spend on extravagance, so Nua had the intention of revenge.

On May 20, the Department of Investigation of Social Order Crimes (PC45) of Ho Chi Minh City Police announced that it was detaining Le Van Nua, alias Khanh (born 1986, from Tay Ninh) to investigate two crimes of "buying, selling, swapping or appropriating children" and "abusing trust to appropriate property".

Initial investigation results showed that Ms. NTTD (born in 1979, from Tra Vinh) and Nua rented a house in An Nghia hamlet, An Phu Dong commune, Can Gio district and lived together as husband and wife.

After living together for a while, D and Nua had a conflict because Nua discovered that D had sold all of Nua's gold to spend on extravagance, so Nua had the intention of revenge.

At around 1:00 p.m. on April 16, while Ms. D was at the hair salon, Nua ran to her younger brother's room and borrowed a motorbike with license plate 60Y6-5982, pretending to go to the market, then returned to her room and ran away with her lover's stepdaughter. When she returned home and did not see her daughter, Ms. D went to the police station to report the incident.

After more than 1 month of investigation, on May 19, detectives of team 2 of PC 45 discovered Nua working as a worker at a fishmeal factory in La Gi town, Binh Thuan province, so they coordinated with Can Gio district police to arrest her.

At the police station, Nua confessed her actions and said that after taking the baby away, Nua sold it to a man from Can Tho, temporarily residing in Hoc Mon district, to be adopted, for 3 million VND. Nua's purpose in selling the baby was to let Ms. D "taste the pain" of losing her child. Regarding Ms. D's younger brother's motorbike, Nua sold it for 1.5 million VND.

Immediately after, the authorities found the man who bought the baby and brought him back safely. At this time, the couple just learned that Nua kidnapped children to sell.

The case is currently under investigation.
