Accordingly, at around 3:30 p.m. on February 26 at the district cultural center, Mr. Nguyen Van Hoa - Chief of the town police was playing badminton (organized by the district) when he was suddenly stabbed 3 times by Trinh Le Thong (40 years old, residing in Da Son commune, Do Luong).

Mr. Van said, the initial cause: "About 8 years ago, Thong caused trouble at the toll station on Highway 15 (now this station has been removed), then Mr. Hoa came to reconcile and resolve the matter. However, nearly 2 years later, Thong went to the town police headquarters to look for Mr. Hoa but could not find him.

While looking for Mr. Hoa, Thong met a committee officer wearing a blue shirt similar to Mr. Hoa, so he slashed him in the arm. After that, Thong was arrested and sent to a reform camp. After a while, Thong escaped and now comes back to find Mr. Hoa to take revenge."

While everyone was playing badminton, Thong suddenly appeared looking for Mr. Hoa.

"At that time, Mr. Hoa was playing badminton when he saw Thong appear, so he stopped to check if Thong had any weapons on him. Suddenly, Thong used a sharp knife he had hidden on his person and stabbed Mr. Hoa three times in the head, arm and chest. Thong was very aggressive and wanted revenge," Mr. Van added.

The incident occurred, Do Luong District Police arrested Thong for further investigation.
