Life sentence for man who killed lover because of rejection
(Baonghean.vn) - On November 29, the High People's Court in Hanoi opened an appeal trial of Nguyen Huu Son (born in 1965, residing in Nghia Dong commune, Tan Ky district, Nghe An) for the crime of "Murder".
Son had been married before, but because they could not have children, they went their separate ways. After a while, Son found joy in life when Mrs. C. agreed to accept their love.
After a period of time together, Mrs. C. vowed to "love her forever" and promised that on June 9, 2017, she would let Son live with her. After that time, when Son mentioned living together again, Mrs. C. said it was just a joke. After that, this woman repeatedly rejected Son's feelings.

On the evening of July 2, 2017, Son went to Mrs. C's house and continued to talk about moving in together. "Please don't leave me, I'm going to die," Son begged his lover, but Mrs. C. said Son was "nagging" and chased her away. Son said if she chased her away, he would hate her, but Mrs. C. replied, "If I hate her, I hate her" and banned her from the house from tomorrow.
Hearing his lover say that, thinking that in the past, Mrs. C. had deceived him and had feelings for someone else, when he saw the knife at the head of the bed, Nguyen Huu Son picked it up and slashed Mrs. C.'s head, face, and body many times.
After committing the crime, Son turned himself in to the Tan Ky District Police. In the first instance trial held on July 20, the Nghe An Provincial People's Court sentenced Nguyen Huu Son to life in prison.
Nguyen Huu Son has filed an appeal for a reduced sentence. The legal representative for Ms. C. also filed a petition to reduce Son's sentence to 18 years in prison.
The appellate court determined that the defendant Son’s actions were particularly dangerous, of a hooligan nature, committed a crime to the end, took the life of Ms. C, and caused public panic... The sentence imposed by the first instance court was appropriate to the nature and severity of the defendant’s crime. Therefore, the appellate court rejected the appeal of the defendant, the legal representative of the victim, and upheld the life sentence for Nguyen Huu Son.
