Police in Vietnam’s southern province of Binh Phuoc on July 13 decided to probe two arrested suspects for robbery and murder of six people in one local family, state media reported Monday.
Accordingly, Nguyen Hai Duong, 24, from the Mekong Delta province of An Giang, and Vu Van Tien, also 24, from the central provinceof Thanh Hoa, were charged of killing Mr. Le Van My, 48, director of Quoc Anh Co. Ltd which involves in woodwork in Chon Thanh district and his wife and four offspring.
The duo Duong and Tien will be held in custody for four months to serve investigations for the massacre case, the second in Vietnam within few weeks.
According to state media, Mr. My, one of giant traders in wood industry and five members of his family were brutally killed with knife during the night of July 7 in his residential areas in Chon Thanh district.
Other victims are My’s 42-year-old wife, his 20-year-old daughter, his 15-year-old son, an 18-year-old niece and a 14-year-old nephew.
Almost all properties of the victim family were untouched with exception of documentations for the family’s woodwork business, the police said.
Two days later, Binh Phuoc police, under direct supervising of Minister of Public Security General Tran Dai Quang, arrested two suspects Duong and Tien. Duong was a former boyfriend of Mr. My’s daughter and has often visited the victim family.
At a press conference held in Chon Thanh district on July 11, Major General Ho Sy Tien from the Ministry of Public Security said he himself questioned Duong in two consecutive day-night and finally Duong admitted to commit the crime.
The two suspects have admitted that they killed the six victims with a fruit-baring knife. The motive of the murders is the family’s refusal to accept Duong as a son-in-law after long love affairs with one of the girls in the rich family.
Many Vietnamese applauded policemen for fast action to bring the murders to the light. However, human rights activists are still doubting, saying the true murders may not be Duong and Tien, given a number of facts that the police couldn’t explain.
Duong and Tien had not legal assistance during the non-stop interrogation in the two days after being arrested. On July 12, the police assigned three lawyers in Binh Phuoc to defend him.
The police said Tien, who had no relations with the victims, participated in the murder case because Duong promised to pay him a big sum. However, the murders just took a small sum of money from the house of the victim and they did not touch VND1.7 billion ($78,000) in one room.
Police investigators said Duong did not kill the 7th member of the family for compassion. However, in fact, the 18-month survivor, was brought by a babysitter to her home in the evening prior to the tragedy night.
On July 11, Duc Long Group, one of rivals of Mr. My in wood industry, informed that it will reward the investigating police with VND1 billion, a big sum given a basic salary is only VND3.1 million for the capital city of Hanoi.
The massacre in Binh Phuoc was the second in Vietnam within one weeks. On July 2, a four-member family in the central province of Nghe An was slain in its poor house in a remote area. The investigation is carried out without progress.
In the first sitting of Vietnam’s legislative body National Assembly, many legislators urged the country to amend the Criminal Procedure Law to enhance rights of detainees and arrested, particularly the rights to remain silent and immediate legal assistance provided by lawyers as well as video and audio recording during interrogations.
However, the Ministry of Public Security still objects to the amendments.
Legal miscarriages are rampant in the communist nation. Ten years ago, Nguyen Thanh Chan in the northern province of Bac Giang was sentenced to life imprisonment for accusation of killing a local resident. Last year, Chan was released and cleared after the real murder came to police to confess his sin. Chan was paid with a compensation of VND7.2 billion from state budget while police investigators who committed torture to force Chan to make false statements were disciplined.
Last year, a group of seven residents in Soc Trang province was also forced to admit to kill a local resident. They were released after two other people went to police to confess their murdering the victim.
Torture is still rampant in Vietnam although the country adopted the UN Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment last year.
According to the government report, 226 detainees and arrested died in police stations and prisons in the past four years. Police said most of their deaths were caused by suicides and illness, however, their families believe that torture and bad treatment are main causes of their deaths./.
