At about 8:45 p.m. on November 17, 2022, Nguyen Trong Thai (born in 2007), residing in Long Thanh commune (Yen Thanh), was driving a motorbike to take his friend home. After passing Cho An bridge (in Ma Thanh commune, Yen Thanh district) for about 60m, Thai's motorbike passed a group of friends of Tran Dinh Thanh (born in 2008), residing in Bao Thanh commune (Yen Thanh) who were sitting and playing on the dike.

Thinking that Thai was driving his ex-lover, Tran Dinh Thanh chased after him and threatened to beat him, but Thai escaped and went to his friend's house.

When he arrived at his friend's house, Thai called Nguyen Trong Ngoc Thanh to tell him what had happened and asked Thanh to come pick Thai up. Thanh agreed and told his group of friends, including Hoang Anh Tien and Vo Huy Manh, to go pick Thai up.

Before leaving, Hoang Anh Tien went home, took a knife and put it in his jacket for “defense” and then went to pick up his friend. After picking Thai up and bringing him to the area where Tran Dinh Thanh’s group was hanging out, Hoang Anh Tien’s group stopped the car and asked who was bullying their friend.

Angry because Tran Dinh Thanh blocked his way, Nguyen Trong Thai punched Thanh in the face. Immediately, a fight broke out between the two groups.conflict, scuffle. Hoang Anh Tien was punched in the face by some of Tran Dinh Thanh's friends, so he pulled out a knife to stab him, but Thanh struggled and pulled him back. The struggle caused the knife to fall to the ground and the blade to fly off the handle.

Hoang Anh Tien picked up the knife handle and hit Tran Dinh Thanh on the head and body in revenge. After being beaten continuously, Thanh fought back and Tien picked up the knife blade on the ground and stabbed him three times. When Thanh screamed, everyone ran away. People around took Tran Dinh Thanh to the emergency room. However, due to the seriousness of his injuries, the victim died shortly after.

The autopsy showed that the cause of Tran Dinh Thanh's death was acute circulatory failure due to a chest wound that punctured the heart sac.

At the trial, all the defendants admitted their crimes. Some of the subjects who participated in the fight with the three defendants, but because they were all under 16 years old, were only administratively punished with warnings for disturbing public order.

The panel of judges found that the defendants' actions were of a hooligan nature, negatively affecting local security and order, so a sentence commensurate with the crime was needed to provide sufficient deterrence and general prevention. The panel of judges decided to sentence defendant Hoang Anh Tien to 11 years in prison for "Murder". Defendants Vo Huy Manh to 24 months in prison, suspended, and Nguyen Trong Ngoc Thanh to 16 months in prison, suspended, for "Disturbing public order". In addition, defendant Hoang Anh Tien must also compensate the victim's family for damages according to the law.
