On November 19, Giang followed a couple leaving the motel. A day later, they printed out pictures of the couple's room, put them in a sealed envelope and sent it to the woman with the message: "Return this phone number if you don't want your family to know about this."
When the woman called, Giang asked her to transfer 100 million VND to a bank account he provided and threatened that if she did not comply, he would release the video and send it to her relatives.
After several discussions, Giang agreed to reduce the price to 50 million VND or the victim would pay 20 million VND and "sleep" with him for one night. On December 10, the two suspects met the victim to talk and were caught red-handed.
