| Duong Nhuệ and his wife |
According to the indictment, at around 10:40 a.m. on March 30, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Anh, 24 years old, an employee of the Thai Binh - Hanoi bus company, received a bag of documents from a woman to take to Hanoi. A conflict arose between the recipient in Hanoi and Ngoc Anh during the transaction on Khuat Duy Tien Street.
This person's story reached Duong "Nhuệ"'s ears because the two families were acquaintances. Duong immediately took the phone number and called Ngoc Anh, introduced himself as "Duong Nhuệ", and asked her to come to his house to apologize when she returned to Thai Binh.
At his house, Duong cursed and hit Ngoc Anh in the face. Hoa and Manh rushed to kick him. At the same time, Duong loudly threatened: "Do you want to die? Do you believe that with just one phone call from me, you will disappear from this Thai Binh land?"... The beating caused Ngoc Anh to have a broken jaw, crushed nasal bone, and a 14% disability.
The People's Procuracy of Thai Binh province determined that Duong "Nhuệ" had no conflict with the victim but still brought him to his house to be beaten by his wife and her followers. Duong "Nhuệ" was the mastermind and initiator; the others were active accomplices.
In addition to this case, Duong Nhuệ and his wife are also involved in two pending cases of extortion of property from cremation service providers and manipulation of land auctions.
