At 4 p.m. the same day, seeing Mrs. G sitting behind the house selecting firewood, Khoa strangled her to death. After that, Khoa dragged the victim's body to the pond behind the house, then continued to wait for the opportunity to kill Mr. S.

About an hour later, Khoa used a hammer and a wooden stick to kill Mr. S in the bedroom. After committing the crime, Khoa locked the house, took the family's motorbike, phone, and 72 million VND, and left the scene.
