After a drinking party, two young men from the West threw a 'gasoline bomb' and burned down a house.

Minh and Khang (living in Dong Thap) drank until nearly 3am, then got together to prepare a bottle of gasoline, tied a cloth on top, used a lighter to light it and threw it at people's houses in town.

On the afternoon of April 24, the Investigation Police Agency of Thanh Binh District Police (Dong Thap Province) issued a decision to prosecute and temporarily detain Le Thanh Minh (33 years old, residing in Hamlet 5, Tram Chim Town, Tam Nong District) and Nguyen Minh Khang (32 years old, residing in Thanh Binh District).

Both suspects are being investigated for property destruction. According to the investigation agency, Khang and Mai Hong Tung (residing in Hamlet 2, Tram Chim town) had a conflict with each other. Early morning a week ago (April 17), Minh and Khang were drinking together.

At this time, Khang invited Minh to go with him to burn down Tung's house. Both of them prepared a bottle of gasoline tied with cloth and rode their motorbikes to Tung's house.

Upon arriving, Minh lit a piece of cloth on fire and threw a bottle of gasoline into the victim’s house. After that, both of them fled. Tung’s family discovered the incident in time and called each other to get out to put out the fire.

The fire did not cause any casualties but damaged a motorbike and many other items. Suspecting that someone had used gasoline to burn down the house, the victim called the police.

Through investigation, Minh and Khang were arrested. Both admitted to arson and personal revenge.
