Regarding the "Girl jumps from building to escape fire" incident, as reported by ANTĐ Online Newspaper, late on September 7th, residents around house number 161 Han Hai Nguyen Street, Ward 2, District 11, discovered thick smoke and flames rising from the first floor where Ms. Hue rented her apartment.
At that moment, people saw Ms. Hue running out of the fire onto the front balcony, calling for help. Seeing no escape route, the girl climbed over the balcony and jumped onto the retractable awning, then fell to the ground from a height of 4 meters.
Regarding the incident, the District 11 Police immediately investigated and issued an urgent arrest warrant for Ha Vu Tai (born in 1985, temporarily residing in District 5) to investigate the crime of "murder".
According to investigators, Tài and Huệ had been living together as husband and wife in the house for nearly two years. Recently, Tài frequently argued with Huệ because he suspected she had a new boyfriend.
That evening, Tài bought 4 liters of gasoline and brought it back to his rented room. After an argument, he poured the gasoline on the victim and lit a match to scare her if she intended to break up with him. In a moment of carelessness, Huệ accidentally knocked over the flame, and it engulfed her.
