Informing reporters, a representative of Soc Son District Police said that through initial investigation, the subject confessed: Since the beginning of 2021, Phi has often argued with his wife. On January 7, due to a headache, Phi suspected that his wife had put poison in his water and thought that his wife's family had instigated him, so at around 9:45 a.m. on January 9, the subject rode a motorbike alone, carrying a large bone-cutting knife to his father-in-law's house.
When he arrived, he saw Mr. H. standing in the yard. Phi used a knife to slash Mr. H.'s head and then repeatedly slashed Mr. H.'s grandson's head who was standing nearby. At this time, Mr. H. rushed to stop him, but the perpetrator turned around and slashed Mr. H. two more times, causing Mr. H. to collapse on the spot.
Mr. Nguyen Quoc D. (born in 1989, son of Mr. H.), ran out of the house and was slashed in the head by Phi with a knife. Mr. D. ran into the bedroom and was immediately chased by Phi and slashed in the back of the neck. While the two sides were struggling, the people rushed in and grabbed the knife from Phi. After receiving the news, Soc Son District Police arrived at the scene with the people to control and arrest the subject.
Currently, the Criminal Police Department of Soc Son District is continuing to investigate the cause of the case and strictly handle the perpetrator.
