The two defendants Tai and Tin confessed their actions in court.
At around 2:00 p.m. on April 10, 2022, Thien went to his friend's house (Dang Hoang Xinh, residing in My Phuoc ward) to drink with a group of acquaintances, including Tin, Luong Van Tai (born in 1999, residing in the same Dong Thinh 4 hamlet) and a young man named Tuan (identity and background unknown). While talking back and forth, Thien cursed loudly, making the drinking group uncomfortable. Tin and Xinh intended to fight, but were stopped. Thien stopped drinking and left.
After Thien left, the remaining people wanted to continue drinking, but Xinh's family did not allow it. Tin asked them to go to a drinking place on Trieu Quang Phuc street. Seeing that his friends were having a conflict, wanting to relieve his anger, Tai asked Thien to go out drinking, but told everyone: "You must bring weapons for self-defense, if Thien beats you, beat him back". After hearing that, Tin, Xinh and Tuan were all silent, did not react, and went to the drinking place together. Seeing that, Tai went home, got 2 homemade knives (machetes) and brought them to the drinking place, placing them under the drinking table.
At Tai's invitation, Thien went to the pub. However, without saying anything, Thien suddenly took a beer bottle on the table and hit Tin on the head and ran away. Tai and Tin took out homemade knives and chased after Thien to take revenge. Xinh and Tuan chased after him. After injuring Thien, they all fled the area. Thien was taken by his family to An Giang Central General Hospital for treatment and was discharged on April 18, 2022.
According to the results of the forensic examination, the percentage of bodily injury due to all of Thien's injuries was 23%. Seeing that they could not escape, Tin and Tai went to the police station one by one to present themselves and confess their wrongdoings. Xinh and Tuan fled the area and have not been able to work since. Based on the initial investigation results, on October 10, 2024, the Long Xuyen City Police Investigation Agency issued a decision to prosecute and detain Tai and Tin for further investigation.
At the end of the investigation, both were brought to trial by the Long Xuyen City People's Court. Before the Trial Panel, the defendants confessed that at first they only wanted to talk to Thien. But when they arrived, Thien attacked first. Too angry with Thien's behavior, the two defendants chased and slashed him to vent their anger, not knowing the consequences would be so serious. The Trial Panel determined that the two defendants were both healthy, capable of perceiving and controlling their actions. However, due to their hooligan nature, disregard for the lives and health of others, and disregard for the law, the two defendants used dangerous weapons to injure the victim.
However, the case was also partly the fault of the victim Thien. When invited by Tai to talk about reconciliation, although Thien accepted, he attacked Tin first. After reviewing all the details of the case, the People's Court of Long Xuyen City sentenced Tai to 3 years in prison, Tin to 2.5 years in prison, both for the crime of "Intentionally causing injury", as stipulated in Clause 2, Article 134 of the Penal Code; recognized the compensation agreement between the two parties. In addition, it has not been determined whether Xinh and Tuan have violated the law. The Investigation Police Agency of Long Xuyen City Police decided to separate the case into another case, searching for Xinh and Tuan to clarify the roles and actions of both subjects and will handle it later.
