A woman from Son La Province, northern Vietnam has been given a suspended sentence for cutting off her husband’s genitalia after finding out he had raped her own daughter.
The People’s Court in Yen Chau District, Son La Province on Tuesday sentenced Ha Thi Nguyet, 36, to 33 months in jail for causing injury in a highly agitated mental state.
However, Nguyet was given a suspended sentence.
Nguyet sincerely confessed after the incident, the court stated, adding that she is the breadwinner in a family with three young children and that she committed the crime for the first time.
The indictment showed that Nguyet got married to Nguyen Van Hoan, 29, in 2016. The two live with Nguyet’s daughter – 15-year-old H.T.R.L..
In August 2020, Hoan wanted to have sex with L. and decided to create a fake Facebook account named Hoang Long to flirt with her.
L. was 13 years old at the time.
After a few conversations, Hoan managed to trick the young girl into sending nude photos and videos of herself.
Hoan then switched to his real Facebook account and blackmailed his stepdaughter with these photos and videos.
The man said he would post the nude content on social media unless L. agreed to copulate with him.
With this threat, Hoan repeatedly forced L. to have sex with him when his wife was not home from August 26, 2020 to March 19, 2022.
On the morning of March 19, N. installed a secret camera near her bed after she had often lost money for unknown reasons.
After checking the camera later the same day, she was shocked to find her husband was having sexual intercourse with her own daughter on her bed.
N. was infuriated and cut off Hoan’s penis and testicles with a knife on the same night before turning herself in to local police.
She also reported her husband’s crime and provided video footage as proof.
Hoan was admitted to the hospital for emergency treatment. He was taken into custody after being discharged from the hospital.
