(Baonghean.vn) - After 9 days missing, the body of a man in Ky Son district (Nghe An), was discovered in a local garden, badly decomposed.

On April 16, the leader of Huu Kiem commune (Ky Son) said that the body of Mr. Ha Van C. (50 years old, Na Luong 1 village), is still being preserved at the morgue, waiting for the Institute of Criminal Science of the Ministry of Public Security to continue the autopsy and investigate the cause of death. The body of this man was discovered on April 15, in a field of people in Pha Danh commune, more than 30 km from the victim's house.

Previously, on the afternoon of April 6, Mr. C. told his wife to go to Pha Danh commune to buy a cow. When he did not return, his wife called him many times but could not reach him, so the family went to look for him. According to the leader of Huu Kiem commune, Mr. C. worked as a water pipe repairman for the villagers but had a rather complicated relationship. After 5 days of searching for him but could not find any trace, the family reported to the local authorities. The commune police and militia were then mobilized to join the search but still had no results.

On April 15, a group of children were shocked to discover a body while searching for a cow in a field in Pha Danh commune. According to a Pha Danh commune official present at the scene, this is an area where people have cleared the field for a long time but have not yet cultivated it, and now the trees have grown back as high as a person's head. This area is far from residential areas, but less than 100m from the concrete road connecting the villages.

At this time, the body was already smelly and badly decomposed. There were several holes on the body suspected to be caused by bullets. "However, because the body was badly decomposed, it was impossible to confirm whether it was a bullet wound or not. We still have to wait for the Ministry of Public Security to come in and conduct an autopsy," he said.

The case is still under investigation by the police.
