On February 23, in response to a VTC News reporter, the leader of the Tay Mo Ward Police (Nam Tu Liem District, Hanoi ) stated that the police force had arrested the suspect who vandalized more than 40 graves at the cemetery in the area.
"The suspect, arrested yesterday, is a teenager born in 2008, showing signs of mild mental illness, and lives in Dai Mo ward," the leader of Tay Mo ward police added.
Tay Mo Ward Police are coordinating with Nam Tu Liem District Police to continue the investigation.
The graves had incense bowls and vases smashed.
On February 19th, the People's Committee of Tay Mo Ward received a report that more than 10 graves in the cemetery had been vandalized. Subsequently, the ward authorities and police arrived at the scene to investigate. However, by evening of the same day, a series of graves continued to be vandalized.
According to statistics, there are about more than 40 graves in the cemetery with broken incense bowls and flower vases.
One of the households whose graves were vandalized by unknown perpetrators – Mr. Do Van Chi (63 years old, residing in Tay Mo ward) – said that the cemetery has existed for a long time, serving as the resting place for many deceased people, but it has never before experienced such vandalism.
According to Mr. Chi, after the incident, his family regularly came here to check to avoid the grave being vandalized a second time.
Mr. Tran Dinh Do (from Tay Mo ward) said that on the morning of February 22nd, he went to the cemetery to check on his relatives' graves and discovered that the incense burners and flower vases had been vandalized. Mr. Do said that his family had no grudges against anyone, so he did not suspect anyone of vandalizing the graves in the cemetery.
