According to Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Duc Thanh - Deputy Chief of Nha Trang City Police, due to personal conflicts, at around 2:00 a.m. on November 15, Tong Minh Hau drove a motorbike to chase his "rival" to a sidewalk on Le Thanh Phuong Street, Van Thang Ward, Nha Trang City, then blocked the road and caused trouble with Nguyen Tan Chau (27 years old), residing at 222 Le Hong Phong, Phuoc Hai Ward, Nha Trang City.
The gun was seized by the police along with some bullets. |
After a while of arguing and fighting, Hau suddenly pulled out a gun and shot Chau, causing the victim to collapse. After the explosion, the perpetrator sped away on his motorbike, and the victim was taken to Khanh Hoa General Hospital for emergency treatment.
Immediately after the incident, a working group of Nha Trang City Police urgently examined the scene, collected bullet casings, and went to the hospital to record the victim's statement to deploy professional measures to hunt down the perpetrator.
After nearly 40 hours of intense pursuit since the incident, in the late afternoon of November 16, a criminal investigation team of Nha Trang City Police surrounded and arrested Tong Minh Hau while he was hiding in Vinh Luong Commune, Nha Trang City, and confiscated a pistol with signs of being cut and modified from a rifle, 9 bullets and an AK magazine cover.
Certificate of completion of Tong Minh Hau's most recent prison sentence |
It is known that Tong Minh Hau used to be a junior of Nguyen Ngoc Thanh Hanh, nicknamed Hanh Nhat, residing in Phuoc Long ward, Nha Trang city - a notorious "big brother" in the underworld in the coastal city of Nha Trang who used to commit crimes in the style of "mafia" in the years 2005-2006.
Under the direction of Hanh Nhat, Tong Minh Hau and dozens of his accomplices caused many incidents of public disorder, intentional injury, property destruction, etc. while competing for protection "territory" with several other criminal gangs and debt collection.
After establishing a special case, in mid-June 2006, Nha Trang City Police and Khanh Hoa Province Police simultaneously arrested Hanh Nhat and his accomplices, eliminating the entire criminal group mentioned above.
Before being detained for the illegal possession and use of military weapons, Hau had two previous convictions for intentional infliction of injury. The last time Tong Minh Hau reintegrated into the community was on October 5, 2015, according to the certificate of completion of a 3-year and 6-month prison sentence issued by the Warden of A2 Prison - Ministry of Public Security. Unfortunately, this young man did not want to reform and become a good person, so he continued to be involved in criminal proceedings.
