After more than a week of verification, evidence collection and investigation measures, the joint working group between Vinh Tho Ward Police and Nha Trang City Police clarified the whereabouts of the four above-mentioned subjects: Nguyen Van Nam (born 1995), Nguyen Van Truong (born 1999), Vo Minh Tai (born 1998) and Pham Tan Huy (born 1996), all residing in Vo Tanh village, Vinh Luong commune.

Initially, these three subjects confessed that before that, Ms. Vo Thi Thu Hang's sister-in-law, Ngo Thi My Le, had borrowed 10 million VND from Nguyen Van Nam. However, Nam only gave Ms. Le 8 million VND with the requirement that she pay in installments within 20 days, 500,000 VND per day.
Because Ms. Le did not have money to pay the debt as promised, Nam persuaded two accomplices to bring paint to the place where Ms. Vo Thi Thu Hang sold seafood to "terrorize" her mentally, in order to put pressure on her relatives to pay the debt.
