"The body has begun to decompose and has a smell. Through initial comparison, the searchers who discovered the body confirmed that it was Vi Van Nghia, however, to be exact, we still have to wait for the police to get involved," said the leader, adding that the police have cordoned off and protected the scene to conduct the investigation steps according to regulations.

Previously, according to the family's report, on the morning of September 14, as usual, Nghia brought his tools and rode his motorbike into the forest to hunt for bees. When he did not return home that evening, the family called his phone many times but it only rang and no one answered. "The phone kept ringing for the next 2 days, but on the evening of September 16, we could no longer contact him. Nghia had never been lost in the forest before," Nghia's mother, Lo Thi Them, sobbed.

Upon receiving the news, hundreds of people, including authorities and local people, cordoned off and searched the entire 1,000-hectare forest for over a week but still found no trace.

According to the leader of Nghia Loi commune, Mr. Vi Van Nghia is a professional forester. His main job is to go into the forest to hunt bees, especially the hornet. To hunt bees, Nghia buys many professional items such as binoculars..., and when going into the forest, he brings an expensive phone. Locally, Mr. Nghia is considered to be hard-working and debt-free./.
