On the afternoon of January 9, residents of Hamlet 1, Tra Co Commune, Tan Phu District (Dong Nai) were shocked to discover Ms. Dang Thi Nga (50 years old) lying dead, naked, in a pool of blood on a mattress in the middle of the house.

Investigating the scene, police discovered the victim had been stabbed in the neck with a sharp object. Many items in the house were in disarray. Mrs. Nga’s motorbike was no longer in the house.

"It is possible that after raping the victim, the suspect killed her to rob her of her property," an investigator said.

According to locals, Ms. Nga has lived alone in a level 4 house located next to the inter-commune road for many years.
