Court sentences Duong and Tien to death in the massacre in Binh Phuoc

On December 17, the People's Court of Binh Phuoc Province brought Nguyen Hai Duong, Vu Van Tien, and Tran Dinh Thoai to a mobile trial at a 4-hectare vacant lot in the Chon Thanh District Administrative Center. The three defendants were charged with murder and robbery for killing 6 members of Mr. Le Van My's family in July.

The court sentenced Duong and Tien to death for murder and robbery.

The defendants listened to the judge summarize the crimes.

Based on the documents and evidence, the court concluded that out of anger at Mrs. Nga (Mr. My's wife) for preventing their relationship, Duong had the intention of killing her entire family in revenge. To carry out his plot, Duong bought weapons and used Vy's help to break into the house.

After going to Mr. My's house with Tien, they murdered Vy and killed 5 more people to steal nearly 50 million VND. The defendants' confessions were consistent with the records, evidence, and other documents, and there was enough basis to conclude that the 3 defendants had committed the crimes of Murder and Robbery.

"At the same time, the defendants killed 6 people in the victim's family, including children... causing irreparable pain and loss. The defendants' actions were especially serious, with many aggravating circumstances such as: killing many people, killing children, killing to commit another crime, and were barbaric, hooligan, and despicable in nature," the presiding judge on behalf of the panel of judges stated.

Duong is the mastermind, determined to carry out the act to the end, losing all humanity.Although Tien tried to stop Duong, when the defendant said it was too late, Tien actively helped, causing serious consequences.. From there, the court sentenced Duong and Tien to death for the crimes of Murder and Robbery.

Thoại was sentenced to 13 years in prison for murder and 3 years for robbery; the total sentence was 16 years. In addition, the panel of judges also orderedThe defendants jointly compensated the victim's family 480 million VND.

Duong collapsed when the death sentence was announced.

Previously, expressing his opinion on the case, the prosecutor said that Duong's crime caused the 2-year-old child to lose both his parents and siblings, affecting the peace in his life. This crime also caused the parents and relatives of the defendants to suffer no less as they have to endure great shame from public opinion every day.

According to the Institute, Duong's crime stemmed from his love affair with Linh, his desire to change his life as quickly as possible, not through hard work. So when he failed to achieve his goal, he decided to quit.Being wanted and prevented from having a love affair, the defendant took action. To prepare an alibi, Duong had planned in a sophisticated way. Knowing that Mr. My's family had died, Duong came and cried bitterly, showing his grief.

The prosecutor charged the defendants.

"Duong was the ringleader and mastermind. Tien played an active accomplice role, repeatedly strangling the victims for Duong to act. Just this act of the defendant could have led to death without Duong having to commit it. As for Thoai, although he knew and refused to participate in the crime with Duong, he did not report it to the police, so he must still bear criminal responsibility.

Tien cried in court.

Thoai bought a knife for Duong to commit the crime. Sentenced to 13-14 years in prison.

From there, the People's Procuracy proposed that the court sentence Duong and Tien to death for murder. For robbery, Duong was recommended 8 years, Tien 5 years. Thoai was recommended 13-14 years in prison for murder, 3-4 years for robbery.
