Initial investigation results determined that at around 6:30 p.m. on February 4 (ie, the 30th of Tet), Ms. Tran Thi H's daughter, Cao My Duyen, currently a student at a University in Thai Nguyen, used a motorbike with license plate 27H1 - 7407 to transport 13 chickens to a stranger in area C13, Thanh Truong ward, Dien Bien Phu city.
After about 2 hours, the family called many times but Duyen did not answer the phone. After that, the phone was unreachable so the family went to the police station to report.
Upon receiving the report, the Provincial Police directed professional units, District Police, and Dien Bien Phu City Police to organize a search. At 9:00 a.m. on February 6 (the second day of Tet), the motorbike Duyen used to transport chickens was discovered in Team 18, Noong Luong Commune, Dien Bien District.
At 10:30 a.m. on February 7 (the third day of Tet), the body of victim Cao My Duyen was discovered at an abandoned house in front of the gate of the Traffic Construction Company in Team 11, Thanh Nua Commune, Dien Bien District.
Through crime scene investigation and autopsy, the police determined that the victim died from strangulation.
From the collected documents, on February 10, the police arrested suspect Vuong Van Hung (born in 1984), residing in Tan Thuy block, Tuan Giao town, Tuan Giao district (Dien Bien), confiscated the victim's motorbike registration, mobile phone and the phone SIM card the suspect used to contact to buy chicken on the afternoon of the 30th of Tet.
On February 13, Dien Bien Provincial Police initiated a case and prosecuted Vuong Van Hung for two crimes: Murder and Robbery.
During the investigation, Hung revealed that he had an accomplice named Bui Van Cong (in Team 16, Thanh Nua Commune, Dien Bien District). Cong was the owner of a 1.25-ton truck with blood stains on the truck bed, which, through forensic examination, matched the blood sample of the victim Cao My Duyen. Notably, Cong's wife was the first person to discover the victim's body.
The case is under further investigation.
