According to the testimony of the defendant and related people, on December 5, 2018, Linh and Nam went drinking with Tran Dinh Tung (born in 1979), residing in Quynh Long commune, Quynh Luu. There, seeing that Nam liked his folding knife, Tung gave it to Tran Hoai Nam.
After a few glasses of wine, Tung confided in his brothers. This morning, when he went to visit Ms. Tran Thi Tuyet (born in 1987), residing in Quynh Thuan commune, Quynh Luu, he was chased away by Mr. Nguyen Van Tr (born in 1987), residing in Quynh Hong commune, Quynh Luu, making Tung very angry.
Knowing that Mr. Tr often visited Ms. Tuyet, at around 10:00 p.m. on December 6, 2018, Nam, Linh, Mr. Tran Dinh Tung and Tran Ba Lam (Tung's son) went to Ms. Tuyet's house to talk. While Tran Dinh Tung and Lam were standing outside the door, Nam and Linh entered Ms. Tuyet's house to ask for the truth.
Seeing Tuyet sitting and talking with Mr. Tr on the bed, Nam immediately rushed in and slapped Mr. Tr on the head, the two of them fought. At this time, Linh rushed from behind and pushed Mr. Tr against the wall, using his hands to strangle Mr. Tr.
With the help of his friend, Tran Hoai Nam stepped back and pulled out the pocket knife that Tung had given him earlier. At this time, Mr. Tr managed to get up and push Nam onto the bed to run outside, but Nam stabbed him once in the left chest, causing Mr. Tr to fall to the floor.
Seeing Mr. Tr fall down with blood on his chest, Duong Van Linh immediately asked: "Why is Mr. Tr bleeding?". Nam only had time to say: "I stabbed him", then the two of them took Mr. Tr to the hospital together. However, due to the severity of the injury, the victim died on the way to the emergency room.
At today's trial, both the victim's first wife and her lover were invited. The two women, one a witness, the other a relative of the victim, did not say anything to each other. Knowing the situation, her husband was stabbed while staying at another woman's house, Mr. Tr's wife could only remain silent, only hoping to receive a reasonable amount of compensation so that she could have enough to raise her children and take care of her mother-in-law.
The panel of judges determined: This is an extremely dangerous act for society and needs to be severely punished. Considering the aggravating and mitigating circumstances, the panel of judges decided to sentence Tran Hoai Nam to 16 years in prison for “Murder” and to compensate the victim 179 million VND, and Duong Van Linh to 12 months in prison for “Disturbing public order”.
