Vi Van Toan identified as the mastermind behind the murder of the chicken delivery girl

Up to now, after the Investigation Police Agency of Dien Bien Province Police has made an emergency arrest of the 9th suspect related to the murder of female student Cao My Duyen in Dien Bien, Vi Van Toan (born in 1982, in Team 5, Thanh Yen Commune, Dien Bien District), it can be seen that the case has made breakthroughs, the knots have almost been solved. But few people know that, in order to fight to clarify and determine which of the hundreds of statements is true, the investigators of the Major Crimes Department, Criminal Police Department (Ministry of Public Security) and the Provincial Police had to spend a lot of effort...

The bad background of Vi Van Toan and his wife

On March 29, the Criminal Police Department of Dien Bien Province made an emergency arrest of Vi Van Toan. Previously, Toan's wife, Vi Thi Thu, was summoned by the Criminal Police Department on suspicion of illegal drug trafficking...

Thanh Yen Commune, Dien Bien District was once a drug hotbed. In particular, the place where Toan and Thu were born and raised in Team 5, Na Ngum village (a village less than 10km from the border) had been deserted for many years because of death sentences or imprisonment for drug-related crimes.

According to investigators, there are few couples with such a dark history as Vi Van Toan and Vi Thi Thu. When the drug storm swept through, Toan and Thu quickly joined the retail network, supplying drugs to addicts in the area. In 1999, when they were only 17 years old, the "perfect" couple was respected by the "white death" traders for their daring and willingness to play. Lazy to work, wanting quick money, to bypass the authorities, each "shipment", the couple discussed very carefully and had countless tricks...

In 2004, despite having two children, Toan and Thu could not resist the temptation of drugs and continued to retail drugs to local addicts. "If you go out at night a lot, one day you will meet a ghost", in February 2008, Vi Thi Thu was caught red-handed by Dien Bien District Police while carrying a package of heroin to deliver. Thu was sentenced to 11 years in prison for illegal drug trafficking.

After his wife was arrested, Toan lay low for a few weeks, listening, then continued to use heroin and sell drugs. Unlike his wife, Toan was more skilled. Toan got the "white goods" directly from Laos, then brought them back and divided them into small pieces to sell to addicts. But then, only about 3 months after his wife was arrested, Vi Van Toan was also arrested by Dien Bien District Police in coordination with the Drug Crime Investigation Department of the Provincial Police in another case. Toan was sentenced to 10 years in prison...

On March 29, Vi Van Toan was urgently arrested by the Criminal Police Department in connection with the murder of female student Cao My Duyen, and Toan's wife - Vi Thi Thu - was also summoned on suspicion of illegal drug trafficking - shocking the entire Na Ngum population; because everyone thought that after 10 years of serving a sentence in prison, this couple would have enough time to repent, to work hard, and to raise their two children to be good people...

The subjects' cunning tricks

Immediately after discovering the body of victim Cao My Duyen in the livestock area of ​​an abandoned house in Team 11, Thanh Nua Commune, Dien Bien District, through the examination of the scene, the police determined that this was a murder case. The victim died from strangulation, with signs of sexual assault and this was most likely just a secondary scene of the case. When the case was established, with the limited evidence collected at the scene, the leader of Dien Bien Provincial Police assessed that this was a very complicated case, the subjects committed the crime, then colluded to erase traces, set up a fake scene to deal with the police force...

Until today, when the case has been partly clarified, readers only know a very small part of the journey to solve the case, know a part of the tricks and methods that the subjects used to conceal their crimes. After committing the crime, the group gathered at Bui Van Cong's house to discuss, erase the traces on the victim's body, erase the main crime scene, destroy the evidence, fabricate an alibi, and agree on statements to deal with the police if discovered...

The highlight of the case is the appearance of Bui Thi Kim Thu (Cong's wife) - who colluded with her husband, pretending to be the first person to discover the victim's body. At the same time, she deceived the authorities, released misleading information, and lied in her statements, making the investigation seem to have reached a dead end. The incident was more clearly shown when Thu proactively appeared in clips of the people, so that they could post them online to see her as someone who had contributed and deserved to be rewarded. Along with that, she actively provided information to a few reporters, installed a lot of fake information, after the press published it, social networks distorted it, causing information confusion, people were unsympathetic towards the forces participating in solving the case...

On the day the Investigation Police Agency summoned Bui Van Cong to work and organized a search of the suspect's house, Bui Thi Kim Thu coordinated with Cam Van Chuong to meet with neighbors, pretending to talk and share information, but in reality, they "sent out" fake news together, probing for new information to deal with the police from the neighbors who had just been met by the Investigation Police Agency to verify and take statements to expand the case...

Previously, at the victim’s funeral, Luong Van La’s presence in the crowd of mourners, pretending to be sad to disguise himself as listening, investigating news about the case and reporting to his accomplices, did not escape the eyes of the detectives. Later, when he was first arrested, Luong Van La gave a naive statement, saying that he was present at the funeral to pick up loose change…

Besides, even when arrested, the subjects were still very stubborn, providing many evidences to fabricate their alibis, especially couples with "special relationships" such as Cong - Thu, Toan - Thu and the brothers Pham Van Nhiem and Pham Van Dung.

Identify the subject who is the mastermind of the case

Although up to now, Vi Van Toan still shows a stubborn attitude, has not confessed to his crime, but with some documents and evidence related to the statements of the subjects and proving other connections, the police agency initially determined that Vi Van Toan was the subject with the role of mastermind in the case of female student Cao My Duyen being raped and murdered and was the leader, organizing the kidnapping of the victim to appropriate property. Meanwhile, the group of Bui Van Cong, Vuong Van Hung and his accomplices had a close relationship because they often bought drugs from Toan and his wife.

It is known that Vi Van Toan and Vuong Van Hung knew each other before, they were imprisoned at the same time and got to know each other in prison, after being released from prison they still kept in contact with each other...

Currently, investigators from the Major Crimes Department, Criminal Police Department (Ministry of Public Security) and the Provincial Police are urgently fighting to clarify the demonic relationship between the subjects. Surely when clarifying this "knot", the remaining mysterious dark corners of the case will be exposed...
