Being asked to pay his debt in front of his girlfriend made Son angry, so he went home and got a knife to stab Mr. H. in the chest. Although he was taken to the emergency room, Mr. H. died that night.
On September 5, the Hanoi People's Court sentenced defendant Vu Thanh Son (born in 1976, in Phu Xuyen, Hanoi) to death for murder.
Previously, defendant Son and Mr. Trinh Dinh H. (born in 1979, in Phu Xuyen) knew each other. Around July 2020, defendant Son borrowed 20 million VND from Mr. H., then paid back 15 million VND, still owing 5 million VND. Mr. H. asked for the debt many times but defendant Son did not have the money to pay.
At about 7:00 p.m. on March 25, 2023, the defendant drove a motorbike, carrying his girlfriend to the house of Mr. Luu Khac Chi (born in 1984) to drink alcohol. There, the defendant Son met Mr. H. and some of Mr. Chi's friends who were eating and drinking there.
While drinking, Mr. H. mentioned that the defendant still owed money, making Son angry and saying: "Let's talk about it another time, not here."
After eating, Mr. H. went to his neighbor's house to drink water, while defendant Son took his girlfriend home. On the way passing by the neighbor's house, defendant Son saw Mr. H.'s motorbike parked in the yard.
Because he was angry because Mr. H. asked him to pay his debt in front of many people, the defendant Son had the idea of beating Mr. H. in revenge. When he got home, the defendant Son took a pocket knife, put it in his jeans pocket and walked to the neighbor's house to look for Mr. H.
When he arrived, he saw Mr. H. sitting and drinking water. The defendant pushed Mr. H.'s shoulder and cursed him, saying, "Aren't you afraid of anyone?" After saying that, the defendant pulled out a knife and stabbed Mr. H. once in the left chest, then pulled the knife out.
Being attacked, Mr. H. took a bamboo pipe and hit the defendant's elbow, causing Son to run away with a knife. Mr. H. tried to chase him for 20 meters, then collapsed and was taken to the emergency room by people. He died that night.
Forensic examination concluded that the cause of death was due to acute irreversible blood loss due to a wound to the left chest that punctured the heart.
As for the defendant, after committing the crime, Son ran away, threw the knife into a neighbor's garden and walked around many streets. He got to the Red River embankment and was arrested.
