Single mother charged with murdering 19-year-old son while he was sleeping
Thinking that her 19-year-old son was rude and unruly, the single mother used an iron pipe to kill her son.
The Hanoi People's Procuracy has just completed the indictment to prosecute Ms. Nguyen Thi Hue (born 1963, Me Linh, Hanoi) for murder.
As a single mother, Ms. Hue has a son, Dang Quang Huy (born in 1999, working as a worker at Quang Minh Industrial Park, Me Linh).

In life, Mrs. Hue and her son often had conflicts, stemming from her son's playing around and speaking inappropriately to his mother.
While short of money, Huy pawned his phone. At around 10:30 p.m. on April 11, when he got home from work, Huy asked his mother to borrow 2.5 million VND to redeem the phone.
Mrs. Hue did not agree, so Huy argued: "Mom, if you can borrow money for me, tell me." The mother replied: "I can't borrow anywhere, you can do whatever you want."
That night, Huy asked his mother for permission to go out, but Mrs. Hue did not agree. His mother told him to stay home and sleep so he could go to work the next morning. However, Huy still took his motorbike out for a ride.
Around 3am the next morning Huy came home from playing and went to sleep next to his mother. At 5am, Mrs. Hue woke up and saw her son lying next to her. Her anger rose and she had the idea of killing her son.
She went to find an iron pipe and hit her son's head repeatedly. Huy only had time to cry out, "Oh, Mom, Mom..." and then fell onto the bed... Mrs. Hue only stopped when she saw her son motionless.
After committing the crime, she cleaned up the scene to erase all traces and then called her sister-in-law to tell her to come over because of urgent matters.
Hue told her sister-in-law that Huy was beaten to death last night while out playing. After Hue's family reported the incident to the police, the police arrested the mother to investigate the murder.
The autopsy results showed that the victim died of severe traumatic brain injury and brain contusion.
At the investigation agency, Ms. Hue confessed to her crime. The Hanoi People's Procuracy said that the defendant's testimony was consistent with the results of the examination, the seized weapon, and other documents and evidence in the case file.
Regarding civil liability, Ms. Tran Thi Hien (born in 1988), the legal representative of the victim, filed a petition to reduce criminal liability for Ms. Hue.
