(Baonghean.vn) - In response to the questions of the jury, Nguyen Chi Tuan admitted that he had absolutely no conflict with the victim. When he received the sentence, the defendant still could not explain why he could "cold-bloodedly" attack the victim at that moment.

On September 7, 2022, the People's Court of Nghe An province brought defendant Nguyen Chi Tuan (born in 1994), residing in Long Hoa hamlet, Hung Dong commune, Vinh city) to trial for the crime of"Killing".

According to the indictment, on the afternoon of March 3, 2022, while driving a garbage truck to dump at the waste treatment plant in Hamlet 2, Nghi Yen Commune (Nghi Loc District), Nguyen Chi Tuan saw many people so he honked his car horn to make way for people to get in. Among them was Mr. Ho Sy Trieu (born in 1985), residing in Hamlet 2, Nghi Yen Commune, Nghi Loc District) who was picking up scrap at the landfill. However, after Tuan honked, Mr. Trieu still did not avoid causing a conflict between the two sides.

Because everyone stopped him, Tuan climbed into the cabin of his car. Meanwhile, Trieu left and stood behind Tuan's car.

After a while, Tuan found a pair of scissors on the bike and jumped out of the bike to show off his power to the other side. The two sides continued to argue and fight.

When Mr. Trieu was about to hit Tuan, the subject used scissors to stab Mr. Trieu, causing the victim to fall to his knees.

Seeing that Mr. Trieu no longer resisted, Tuan immediately returned to his car and drove to dump the trash at the back of the dump. When he returned, he found the victim dead, so Tuan immediately hid in the mountainous area behind the dump. Late that night, Nguyen Chi Tuan went to the police station to confess his actions.

According to the autopsy results, the victim died of acute circulatory failure due to a penetrating wound in the neck area.

At the trial, Nguyen Chi Tuan admitted his actions and apologized to the victim’s family. During the investigation, Tuan had pressured the family to compensate the victim’s family.

With the heart of a father who has just lost his child, Mr. Ho Sy Truyen (the victim's father) also understands the pain of the defendant's parents when their child is in prison, so he asked the court to reduce the defendant's sentence.

Considering the entire case, realizing that the defendant's behavior was extremely dangerous and needed to be strictly tried, the panel of judges decided to sentence Nguyen Chi Tuan to 16 years in prison for the crime of "Murder"./.
