The owner of a plastic surgery clinic in Ho Chi Minh City has been apprehended after he drove the body of a woman who allegedly died from his breast implant surgery to a mortician in Tra Vinh Province, about 130km away, for burial.
Two suspects involved in the incident were already handed over to police of Binh Tan District in the southern city, police officers in Tra Vinh announced on Wednesday.
Tra Vinh police were first notified of the case on July 4, when a source alerted them to two individuals from Ho Chi Minh City who asked a local mortician to encoffin a body they fetched in their car.
The duo were later identified as Phan Duc H., 59, owner of a plastic surgery clinic in Ho Chi Minh City, and his 17-year-old daughter, both of whom live in Binh Hung Hoa A Ward of Binh Tan District.
As per H.’s confession, the victim was N.T.T., a 30-year-old woman from Binh Tri Dong Ward, Binh Tan.
T. arrived at H.’s clinic on July 3 to seek his breast implant service, but the surgery went sour, leading to her death.
H. then asked his daughter to help him enshroud the woman’s body by transporting it to Cau Ke District in Tra Vinh, where he was suspected and reported to local police.
