A 20-year-old resident of Nam Dinh Province in northern Vietnam was apprehended on Friday for shooting to kill two people in Nam Dinh and Bac Ninh, another northern province, this week over personal conflicts.

The Bac Ninh People’s Procuracy informed that it had approved the provincial police’s decision to arrest Le Nguyen Minh Tuan, 20, who is the suspect.

Tuan declared that early on Friday morning, he came to Huong Xuan – Sky karaoke and massage parlor in Tu Son City, Bac Ninh Province and met Thiem, 33, the parlor manager, and his wife.

Tuan said Thiem often placed pressure on him and gave him a talking-to.

According to the Bac Ninh Police, Tuan asked Thiem, “Have you done anything wrong to me?”

Tuan later took out a gun and asked, “Do you think this is a real gun?”

Thiem smiled and was shot dead.

After that, Tuan fled but was detained while he was in a hostel in northern Bac Giang Province.

At the police office, Tuan admitted his crime, suddenly confessing that he had also shot another person dead in Nam Dinh Province.

In particular, Tuan got acquainted with Vien, 22, and Phu, 21. Both of them reside in Vu Ban District, Nam Dinh.

At about 5:00 pm on Thursday, Phu and Vien invited Tuan to Nam Dinh City in the namesake province to drink alcohol. After the party, Tuan caught a taxi to Nam Dinh City.

At 9:00 pm on the same day, the trio traveled on a motorbike. On the way, Tuan and Vien had an argument.

After Phu stopped the vehicle in My Loc District, Nam Dinh, Tuan loaded four bullets to his gun and shot Vien dead.

Tuan later asked Phu to drive him to another place to catch a taxi to Tu Son City, Bac Ninh Province. Phu had to agree with Tuan as the latter had a gun at the time.

Investigators from the Bac Ninh Police seized an M1911 gun, 11 bullets, and three knives from Tuan, who tested positive for synthetic drugs.

The case is under further investigation.
