On March 22, according to a source of the reporter, the High People's Court in Ho Chi Minh City is about to open an appeal trial, trying the defendants Nguyen Vo Quynh Trang and Nguyen Kim Trung Thai in the case of child NTVA (8 years old) being abused to death.
The trial, presided over by Judge Hoang Minh Thinh, is scheduled to take place on April 28.
Defendant Nguyen Vo Quynh Trang.
The trial was opened due to an appeal for a reduced sentence by defendant Nguyen Vo Quynh Trang and an appeal by lawyer Nguyen Anh Thom ( Hanoi Bar Association, defending the victim's family).
Specifically, defendant Trang appealed for a reduction in her sentence because she believed that the sentence imposed by the court of first instance was "too harsh for the crime." Meanwhile, the lawyer for the victim argued that the sentence imposed on defendant Thai was too light, did not reflect the strictness of the law, and was also inconsistent with the nature of Nguyen Kim Trung Thai's cruel crime.
From there, the lawyer appealed part of the first instance judgment, disagreeing with the crime of Torturing others that the first instance court had sentenced Nguyen Kim Trung Thai (father of the victim VA) and requested the High People's Court in Ho Chi Minh City to try the defendant for Murder as an accomplice.
Previously, on November 25, 2022, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Court of First Instance sentenced defendant Nguyen Vo Quynh Trang to death for murder and 3 years in prison for torture, with a combined sentence of death.
Defendant Nguyen Kim Trung Thai received a sentence of 3 years in prison for Torturing others, 5 years in prison for Concealing a criminal, a total sentence of 8 years in prison.

The first instance verdict showed that Trang had a relationship with Thai after the man divorced her. During the time they lived together in the apartment, Thai entrusted his daughter NTVA (8 years old) to Trang to take care of. Later, Trang ordered a rattan cane to discipline Thai’s stepchild. When the cane broke, Trang switched to beating the child with a 90cm long wooden stick and forcing VA to kneel in the dog cage.
On December 7, 2021, Trang forced VA to kneel down, raised both hands high, and then used a whip to beat her. Sitting on the bed, witnessing the incident, Thai cursed and forced VA to kneel down to study. Continuously from December 7 to December 12, 2021, Trang repeatedly beat and tortured VA, but Thai did not stop her, but also joined Trang in beating and torturing A.
In addition, Trang used a dangerous weapon to beat VA's vital areas for nearly 4 hours, causing the child's death. Thai was the person who directly raised and cared for VA. He saw Trang beating and torturing him for many days and hours, but remained indifferent, did not stop or take any action to protect or shelter his child.
On December 22, 2021, after learning that Trang had beaten baby A. to death, Thai logged into the camera management application and deleted all data from the 4 cameras in the apartment to conceal Trang's crime.
