Love triangle, one died, one received life sentence

On January 25, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Court held a first-instance trial and sentenced Hoang Ngoc Thang (born 1986 in Phu Giao - Binh Duong) to life in prison for "murder".

According to the indictment, Ngoc Thang and Phung Minh Thang were childhood friends. During their time in college, Ngoc Thang met Thai Do Hong Phuc, so the three of them have known each other since then. After that, Ngoc Thang and Phuc got married, but Minh Thang still kept in touch with Phuc regularly.

On June 27, 2011, while taking a lunch break at his rented room, Minh Thang called Phuc but was discovered by Ngoc Thang. Phuc later confessed that he had had a relationship with Minh Thang before getting married.

Angry, Ngoc Thang made an appointment to meet Minh Thang to ask him to end his relationship with his wife. Ngoc Thang went home, prepared a knife and hid it on his person, then went to the meeting place. There, after a while of talking, Ngoc Thang chased and stabbed Minh Thang many times, causing him to collapse and die on the spot.
