The areca-picking medium who "admitted right and argued wrong" in Kinh Mon is on trial.

According to the indictment, on February 19, 2022, at her residence in Hien Thanh ward, Huong took advantage of the superstition of Mr. PST and his wife in Hiep An ward (Kinh Mon) to engage in superstitious activities, fortune telling and appropriation of money.

Huong told Mr. T.'s fortune and gave him false information that if he did not perform the ritual to dispel bad luck, Mr. T.'s father would have trouble and all the money he earned would be lost. Mr. T. and his wife believed what Huong said and did, so they transferred 62.5 million VND to Huong.

On December 6, 2022, Huong continued to take advantage of the superstition of Mr. TTX's wife and husband in Du Hang ward, Le Chan district (Hai Phong). Huong told fortunes for Mr. X. and gave false information to make him and his wife believe that Mr. X.'s house was cursed, haunted by ghosts, and that the family had bad luck... To dispel the bad luck, Huong had to pay 180 million VND so that Huong could perform a ritual to dispel the bad luck and Mr. X.'s family would be able to sell the house in December 2022.

Mr. X. and his wife believed it was true, so they gave Huong 180 million VND. After the ceremony, Mr. X. and his wife waited until the end of December 2022 but still could not sell the house, and work was not going well. On February 12, 2023, Mr. X. filed a complaint against Huong's behavior with the Kinh Mon Town Police.

The total amount of money Huong appropriated from Mr. T. and his wife and Mr. X.'s wife was 242.5 million VND.
