Tây Ninh police have arrested Nguyen Thanh Nha (51), accused of killing a woman and transporting her body more than 70 km to conceal the crime.
According to investigators, Nha had been living with T.T.D. (32) in a rented room near An Ha Bridge, Đức Hòa commune, Tây Ninh, since January 2025. The two cohabited as husband and wife.
Nha told police that he became jealous after learning that D. was romantically involved with other men. On the evening of August 29, he saw her leaving a guesthouse with another man. Later that night, the two argued in his rented room.
At around 11 p.m., Nha said D. attacked him with a knife. He blocked the strike, grabbed the weapon, and struck her on the back of the head, rendering her unconscious. When he checked, he realized she was dead.
Shortly after midnight on August 30, Nha placed her body in a red plastic bag, tied it shut, and used his motorbike to transport it to a remote area.
On the morning of September 7, local farmers in Bình Hiệp commune discovered decomposing body parts and alerted authorities.
Tây Ninh police are continuing their investigation and have confirmed that Nha faces charges of murder and disposal of a corpse under Vietnamese law.
