Previously, in April 2024, Ms. NTMD informed her husband, Mr. THD (residing in Long Xuyen City, An Giang Province) that she would be going on a business trip to Tra Vinh Province. Doubting the authenticity of this business trip, Mr. D. secretly followed and discovered that Ms. D. and Lieutenant Colonel Tran Tan Tai, Deputy Chief of Tan Chau Town Police - were staying in the same room at GH Hotel (Ward 2, Tra Vinh City, Tra Vinh Province).

At the time of discovery, Ms. D. was wearing a black nightgown and no underwear, while Mr. Tai was wearing only shorts, no shirt, and was hiding against the wall in the bathroom. The entire incident was recorded by Mr. D. and later provided to the professional units of the Provincial Police.
