Police in Ho Chi Minh City are investigating a shocking discovery at a high-end residential complex in Binh Thanh District. On the afternoon of 23 November, security staff stopped two men carrying a large blue bag that gave off a strong odor. Moments later, both suspects fled the scene, hijacking a taxi parked nearby.
Authorities quickly sealed off the area and inspected the bag. Inside, they found the body of a man in an advanced stage of decomposition. The victim had been renting an apartment in the same building.
Sources indicate the victim is a foreign national, and the two men who escaped may be from the same country. Police are now tracking the suspects and reviewing surveillance footage from the building and surrounding streets.
Residents described the incident as deeply disturbing. The building, located on Nguyen Huu Canh Street in Binh Thanh District, is known for its upscale apartments and large expatriate community.
Officials have not yet released the victim’s identity or any potential motive. The investigation is ongoing.
