On the morning of June 27, the People's Court of Ninh Giang District (Hai Duong) held an online first-instance trial of a criminal case, sentencing defendant Nguyen Van Dien (born in 1995, in Da Nghi village, Nghia An commune) to 8 years in prison for intentionally causing injury.
According to the indictment, at about 8:00 p.m. on February 19, 2024, in the living room of Mr. Nguyen Van Dinh's family (born in 1970, in Da Nghi village, Nghia An commune), while drinking alcohol, Nguyen Van Dien and Mr. Luu Van V. (born in 1965, in the same Da Nghi village) got into a fight.
Dien punched Mr. V. in the face and used both hands to push him down, hitting his neck against the wall. After that, Dien continued to assault Mr. V., injuring him and requiring him to be taken to the Ninh Giang District Medical Center for emergency treatment, where he later died from a broken cervical vertebra.
