The police in the Mekong Delta province of Kien Giang has detained a 18-year-old man living in Rach Gia City for killing his mother for her jewelries, the deputy chief of the local police agency told Tuoi Tre on Monday.

The local police agency has decided to arrest Nguyen Kha Dat, who was born in 1997, for further investigation to prosecute him on two counts of murder and robbery, said Colonel Hoang Quoc Viet, deputy chief of the municipal police division in charge of social crimes (PC45).

At the investigation agency, Dat claimed that he killed his mother, Nguyen Thi Minh Trinh, 42, at their house at night on March 5, after his mother refused to offer him the money he needed to buy a new motorbike, said the police agency.
