On May 28, Bac Giang provincial police prosecuted Nguyen Van Thu, 34 years old, residing in Hai Duong province, Vietnam for two serious crimes: “murder” and “property destruction”.
The incident stemmed from a personal conflict between Thu and the owner of Thanh Phat motorbike spare parts store, located in Viet Yen town.
According to initial statements, Thu admitted that he had the intention of revenge due to a prolonged personal conflict. In the early morning of May 26, Thu brought a can of gasoline to Thanh Phat store and set it on fire.
This action caused a serious fire, spreading to many neighboring houses, completely burning down 4 houses. Fortunately, the fire did not cause any human casualties, but the property damage was estimated at billions of VND.
Security cameras in the area recorded the entire crime scene, showing that Thu approached the scene at night, carrying flammable materials and committing the act intentionally.
Immediately after the fire broke out, the authorities promptly began investigating, tracing the camera images and arresting Thu in less than 48 hours.
The police force is continuing to expand the investigation to clarify the specific motive as well as determine the extent of the damage.
At the same time, the work of examining the scene and taking witness statements is also being carried out.
