On May 25, Dien Bien Provincial Police announced that they had just prosecuted and temporarily detained Ms. Tran Thi Hien (44 years old, residing in Dien Bien district) to clarify the act of illegal drug trafficking.

The case of kidnapping, raping and murdering a young girl who was delivering chicken on the afternoon of the 30th of Tet in Dien Bien caused a stir. The investigation results determined that Vi Van Toan told the group that the girl's mother owed him money, so he asked him to kidnap her and keep her for a few days to pressure her to pay. Toan promised to pay her in full in money and drugs, so the group agreed.

After planning, the group kidnapped and raped the victim. That same afternoon, seeing that the female student's health was getting worse, the group tried to cover up the clues and disposed of the victim's body in an abandoned house...

Police have now prosecuted nine suspects to investigate this case.
