After using drugs, Hai saw baby T. sitting in front of the house, so he carried the baby to Cai Nua River, about 80 meters from the house, and threw the baby boy into the river.
On the afternoon of February 26, Tien Giang Provincial Police informed that the unit had prosecuted and detained Le Huynh Hai (25 years old, residing in Hau My Trinh commune, Cai Be district) to investigate the act of "Killing".
According to the Tien Giang Police Department, at around 7am on February 11, after using drugs, Hai walked to Cai Nua market (in Hau Thanh commune, Cai Be district). At around 6pm the same day, Hai saw a boy named LNKT (3 years old, residing in Hau Thanh commune) sitting on a stone bench in front of his house on Provincial Road 869, so he picked up the boy and walked to Cai Nua river, about 80m from the boy's house, and threw the boy into the river. After that, he left the scene.
At this time, Mr. Phan Quoc Huy (30 years old, residing in Hau Thanh commune, owner of a nearby coffee shop) saw the boy struggling in the river, so he quickly jumped into the river to bring T. to shore.
