From construction contractor to mother murderer and fake crime scene
Manh used to be the contractor of many construction projects. Recently, he has been partying, quarreling with neighbors, and having complicated relationships with people.
The incident of a son murdering his mother in Dai Thang commune (Vu Ban district, Nam Dinh province) has shaken the peaceful countryside. Some neighbors said they were still shocked when they heard that Ms. NTT (born in 1965, residing in Hong Tien village, Dai Thang commune) was killed by her own son, Vu Ngoc Manh (born in 1990).
“Around 3am on August 17, I heard a loud argument coming from Mrs. T’s house, then it stopped after a while. It wasn’t until morning when we heard her family members shouting and informing the neighbors that we learned that Mrs. T had died. No one could believe that the gentle woman who loved her son so much would pass away in such a heartbreaking situation,” said Mr. M. (neighbor).
According to Mr. M., Mrs. T. is a kind-hearted person, loved by the villagers. She and her husband are divorced, and her eldest son lives with her ex-husband. Manh lives with his mother and is loved and pampered.
Ms. H. (neighbor) shared that Manh used to be a construction contractor but for some reason he increasingly neglected his work. Recently, Manh often interacted with complicated subjects and quarreled with people around him. Manh's wife left home.
Speaking to reporters, a representative of Hong Tien village said: "People near Ms. T's house heard the mother and son arguing in the early morning of the day the incident happened. The cause of the murder is suspected to be because Manh asked his mother for money but was refused."
Previously, at around 5:30 a.m. on August 17, the grandchild discovered that his grandmother, Mrs. NTT, had died. The family and neighbors reported the incident to the police.
Through the investigation, the police identified the perpetrator of the murder as Vu Ngoc Manh.
The leader of Dai Thang Commune People's Committee said that after committing the crime, Manh put his mother to bed, covered her with a blanket to create a fake crime scene. At the police station, Manh admitted to the crime.
