Before that, at around 3:00 p.m. on April 29, 5 children aged 5 to 13 years old invited each other to go to Hieu River, through Block 4, Long Son Ward, to bathe. While bathing, Nhung (in grade 3) and Vi (in grade 1) did not see the 3 people bathing together, so they ran back to call their father, Mr. Phan Van Dinh (living in Hamlet 4, Long Son Ward) to come and look for them, but to no avail.
