Cuong confessed that he had worked with Ms. P's fiancé in real estate in November 2017. During his time as a land broker, Cuong was often taken by Ms. P's husband to meet clients and then stopped by HK Pharmacy. Recently, due to conflicts with Ms. P's husband, Cuong quit his job.

From then on, Cuong was resentful and planned to kill Ms. P. to take revenge.
On the afternoon of February 10, Cuong brought a knife to the pharmacy to meet Ms. P. to talk. Seeing that Cuong was a regular customer and had done business with her fiancé, Ms. P. still politely welcomed him. Ms. P. was later murdered by Cuong in a room inside the HK pharmacy.

After killing the man, Cuong calmly locked the shop door and fled back to his hometown.
At this time, a woman came to buy medicine but no one answered her calls. She looked inside the room and was shocked to see Ms. P. lying on the floor, surrounded by blood stains.
Upon receiving the news, Go Vap District Police coordinated with the Ho Chi Minh City Police Department to arrive at the scene to investigate. Through extracting images from cameras in the area, the police determined that the murderer was Cuong, so they launched a manhunt to capture him.
On the evening of February 12, knowing that he could not escape, Cuong was persuaded by his family to go to the police and confess to his crime. Go Vap District Police immediately transferred the perpetrator from Phu Yen Province to Ho Chi Minh City to take his statement to serve the investigation.
According to the Go Vap District Police Department, this is only the suspect's initial statement about the murder. The police are currently continuing to investigate the motive and whether or not there are accomplices in the case. In addition, the police are also clarifying the details that Cuong was arrested for drug use.
