14 suspects detained in case of police major being slashed and hospitalized

On September 20, Binh Tan District Police (Vinh Long Province) detained 14 suspects related to the case of Major Le Minh Canh, Chief of Police of Nguyen Van Thanh Commune, who was slashed and had to be hospitalized for emergency treatment.

The 14 suspects are between 15 and 20 years old, residing in Long Ho, Tam Binh, Binh Tan districts (Vinh Long province) and Chau Thanh district (Dong Thap province).

Initial investigation results show that on the evening of September 18, LHK (17 years old, residing in Binh Tan district) and a group of friends went to a funeral in Long Ho district. There, K. told his friends about a conflict with a young man residing in Nguyen Van Thanh commune (Binh Tan district).

K. invited many teenagers to ride on 11 motorbikes, carrying weapons to Nguyen Van Thanh commune to find the other party to settle the matter.

In this commune, the enemy discovered that K.'s group was too large so they fled. At this time, K.'s group drove their motorbikes to Provincial Road 910B to continue searching. At that time, Major Le Minh Canh, Chief of the Commune Police, received the report and coordinated with the Commune Military Command to go to the scene to resolve the incident.

Upon discovering the police force, the subjects accompanying K. ran away. Major Le Minh Canh held K. and another teenager. At this time, K.'s group returned, used knives and sticks to beat Major Le Minh Canh, causing injuries, then got in a car and escaped. Major Le Minh Canh was taken to Can Tho Military Hospital 121 for emergency treatment.

Using professional measures, the Criminal Police Department coordinated with Binh Tan District Police to identify the related subjects and arrested and temporarily seized 2 homemade knives and 8 motorbikes.

Through investigation, the 14 subjects involved all admitted to their crimes.
