A tragic domestic violence incident occurred late Sunday night in Quang La commune, Ha Long City, Quang Ninh province, resulting in the deaths of both a husband and wife.
According to initial police reports, around 11:50 p.m. on June 2, a serious murder-suicide took place in Hamlet 4. Authorities quickly responded to the scene to secure the area and launch an investigation.
Preliminary findings indicate that 39-year-old Truong Van Hau, a contract worker at Coal Company 91, fatally stabbed his wife, 31-year-old Ly Thi Huong, multiple times in their bedroom following a domestic dispute. Huong was employed at a garment company in Viet Hung Industrial Park.
After committing the act, Hau reportedly left the house and walked approximately 40 meters to a nearby road, where he used a homemade firearm to take his own life.
Police continue to investigate the case, including the circumstances leading up to the violence and the origin of the weapon used in the suicide.
This incident has shocked the local community and once again raised concerns about domestic violence and access to illegal weapons in Vietnam.
