A Vietnamese man in the Mekong Delta province of Tien Giang stabbed his younger brother to death after a disagreement arose while the siblings were grabbing a few drinks this month, police said.
Nguyen Ngoc Chau, 55, from Tien Giang’s Go Cong Tay District, has been sent to a four-month detention and had legal proceedings launched against him by the provincial police department for the alleged murder, a source told Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper on Thursday.
According to a preliminary investigation, Chau and his 50-year-old brother attended a death anniversary ceremony at a neighbor’s house at around 9:00 am on August 13.
At roughly 11:00 am the same day, they went for a drink together at the younger brother’s house, where they began to pick a quarrel with each other.
In the heat of the moment, Chau stabbed his brother in the left chest with a knife.
The brother later succumbed to his injury.
After the incident, Chau went to the local police station in Go Cong Tay District to surrender himself.
An autopsy on the victim confirmed that he died of a single stab wound to the heart.
