According to the indictment, on the afternoon of September 4, 2017, Tan went to his acquaintance's house in Thanh My commune (Vinh Long district) to drink. Because he was drunk, Tan slept there. That evening, Tan took his car home and met his ex-lover, so he stopped the car to talk. At this time, Mr. Pham Duy Thuc (Tan's ex-lover's boyfriend) drove over to discover the incident, so an argument broke out.
Mr. Thuc used his helmet to hit Tan and was stopped by people present. After that, Tan waited for Mr. Thuc to pass by, blocked the road and stabbed the victim to death./.
