Nguyen Thi D. (14 years old) in Truong village, Thanh Linh commune is the second child in a family of 2 sisters. Her parents are farmers, and D.'s father used to work as a bricklayer; in recent years, D.'s mother and sister have gone to work far away, so her father only stays home to take care of the fields and gardens. There are only 2 fathers and daughters in the family, all the housework is done by the father, while D. only focuses on studying. D. is in class 8A, Thanh Linh Secondary School.

A neighbor next to D.'s house said: "People in the neighborhood think he is gentle. Compared to his peers, he is quite happy. His family has few people and he only cares about studying. He has an electric bike and a phone to go to school. Yesterday, when we heard that he and a friend committed suicide under Dung Bridge, we were shocked."

Le Thi Thu Th. (14 years old) in village 2, Thanh Thinh commune is the second child in a family of 3 siblings, the eldest brother works far away, the youngest is still young. Both parents are farmers who are industrious. Before her death, Th. was studying in grade 8B, Thanh Thinh Secondary School.

Mr. Nguyen Hoai Thanh - homeroom teacher of class 8B of Th. said: "Compared to his classmates, Th. has good academic performance, gets along well with everyone, and is trusted by his friends to be elected as the group leader. On the afternoon of December 9, Th. still went to class as usual, and still assigned his friends to be on duty... Hearing the sad news, teachers and friends at the school were shocked and heartbroken."

When the heartbreaking incident happened at the foot of Dung bridge, many people questioned why two female students from two different schools had such a foolish act. Through investigation, the parents of the two students learned that although D. and Th. studied at two schools in two communes, they were in the same grade and had a relationship with each other. Previously, these two students had studied together at an extra-curricular center in Thanh Linh commune.

A parent of D.'s friend said that before the incident, that is, after going to school in the afternoon, the two students rode a bicycle together to Dung Bridge. D. used her phone to text two close friends (one of whom was this parent's child) with the message: "I'm leaving now, goodbye." When the two friends read the message, the unfortunate incident had already happened.

Mr. Nguyen Van Thang - a police officer of Hong village recounted: When we arrived, there were still plastic sandals on the riverbank. D.'s electric bike was parked on the bridge, on the bike there were 2 bags. In D.'s bag there was a letter written on a piece of lined paper. We opened the letter and read it on the spot.

The content of the letter expressed D.'s remorse towards his family, mentioning the efforts of his parents in raising him, but D. was not obedient, sometimes lied, skipped school to go out... "To my loved ones... From now on, my parents will no longer have this child, my parents stay happy and healthy".

When the bodies of the two children were recovered, the authorities made a record of the incident. Representatives of the two families had no comments, only wanting to bring the children home for burial.

At the funeral on the morning of December 10, a neighbor next to Th.'s house shared: "Hearing the news of Th.'s suicide, the whole village was surprised, both sad and shocked. Due to shallow thinking, he acted foolishly. Hopefully, through this, many families will have more lessons in raising and managing their children."

As reported, Mr. Nguyen Van Mao - Chief of Thanh Linh Commune Police (Thanh Chuong) said that on the afternoon of December 9, on the bank of Lam River, in Hong village, Thanh Linh commune, a tragic drowning incident occurred, the victims were 2 8th grade students.

Accordingly, at about 15 minutes to 6:00 p.m., a local resident passing by the river bank discovered two female students holding hands and wading into the river. At first, he thought the students were out playing so he did not pay attention, but then he saw the two girls gradually sinking in the middle of the river, so he shouted for help.

After 2 hours of searching by boat and fishing rod, by 8:00 p.m. the same day, the police force of Thanh Chuong district, Thanh Linh commune, Thanh Thinh commune... had recovered the bodies of the two students, about 20 meters downstream from the old Dung bridge. The two victims were identified as Nguyen Thi D. (14 years old) in Truong village, Thanh Linh commune and Le Thi Thu Th. (14 years old) in village 2, Thanh Thinh commune.
