Ms. Hien, mother of the chicken delivery girl who was murdered in Dien Bien. |
Ms. Hien is the mother of chicken delivery girl Cao My DD who was kidnapped, raped and murdered by Bui Van Cong and 7 other people hired by Vi Van Toan on the 3rd day of the Lunar New Year.
Along with the temporary detention, the police also searched the suspect’s house. During the search, the investigation agency seized many mobile phones and other related documents.
Police suspect that when contacting other subjects in the drug ring, Ms. Hien often used junk SIM cards.
Ms. Hien was identified by the Dien Bien Provincial Police as an important link in the drug ring in Dien Bien. This subject was "circled down" by the police because of her dishonest statements and shady behavior when working with the Investigation Police.
The police are also clarifying the relationship between Ms. Hien and the accused Vi Van Toan and Vi Van Toan's wife, Vi Thi Thu (born in 1982, residing in Team 5, Thanh Yen Commune, Dien Bien District, Dien Bien Province). These two subjects are related to the drug ring in Dien Bien.
However, in a previous interview, Ms. Tran Thi Hien affirmed that she did not know who Vi Van Toan was and had never met him. This woman did not believe that Vi Van Toan was the mastermind behind her daughter’s murder, but that it was someone else who had a grudge against her daughter or her family.
According to sources, when the police executed the order to temporarily detain her at home, Ms. Hien still insisted that she herself did not traffic drugs.
