Police in southern Vietnam on Sunday said they had arrested six men for allegedly killing a man at a local eatery on Saturday.
According to preliminary information, Chau Thuol, a 28-year-old man residing in the Mekong Delta province of An Giang, and six other men went to an eatery located in Thanh Phu Ward, Vinh Cuu District, Dong Nai Province to grab a few drinks.
Dinh Van Toi, a 22-year-old man from An Giang, was seated with his friends at a nearby table.
During the night, Thuol reportedly spat at one of Toi's friends unprovoked.
When another member of Toi’s group came over to Thuol’s table to ask for the reason, Thuol’s group left without giving any response.
Around 30 minutes later, Thuol and a few other young men, armed with machetes and knives, returned to the venue in search of Toi’s group for a fight.
Toi and his friends tried to flee upon seeing the aggressive group, but Thuol vigorously pursued Toi and stabbed him twice with a kitchen knife.
Toi succumbed to his injuries while Thuol’s gang quickly fled the scene.
Thuol and five other men allegedly involved in the killing of Toi were brought into police custody on Saturday night, the criminal investigation division under Dong Nai’s Department of Police said Sunday.
