Man kills woman, injures two over wife job grievance

A Ho Chi Minh City man, who was furious that his wife was about to be dismissed, killed a woman Monday and injured his wife’s boss.

Nguyen Trong Nhan, 30, and Luong Hoai Sang, 20, were arrested for killing 47-year-old Dang Thu Hong and stabbing Bui Ngo Thi My, the boss, and her daughter at My’s house in Phu Nhuan District.

According to the police, Nhan went to the house to ask My, chief of the local natural resources and environment agency, to condone his 20-year-old wife’s wrongdoings.

His wife faced the sack for breaking several rules.

He and Sang also carried a knife and an electric baton to threaten My.

After their discussion became heated and My rejected his entreaties, the two attacked her with the baton and also her 24-year-old daughter who came downstairs upon hearing her mother’s screams.

Hong, My’s friend, suddenly turned up at the house and Nhan hit her on the head with a tennis racket until she passed out.

He also repeatedly stabbed the three women with the knife, and Hong died on the way to hospital.

Since My lived opposite the local military headquarters, soldiers heard the victims’ screams and rushed to their rescue.

Nhan also threatened them, saying he would kill anyone who approached him.

He only surrendered when armed police showed up.

My and her daughter have recovered after treatment.
