Vietnamese robber kills house owner, hides body in water tank
The robber was just released from prison in October 2020

A disturbing incident unfolded in Hai Phong, Vietnam, where construction workers unexpectedly discovered a man's body in an underground water tank while working on a four-story house. The gruesome find has opened an investigation into a murder that occurred over nine years ago.
The victim, identified as Nguyen Van V. (born 1989), was a local electrician who was working on the construction site at the time of his death. He was responsible for overseeing the site at night while the owner, Pham Thi K., and her two children stayed elsewhere. On April 1, 2014, workers arrived to continue the project but were halted by a lack of water. When one worker, Pham Van C., went to fetch water from the tank, he was horrified to find the body submerged.
Authorities were notified, and the police quickly launched an investigation. Initial findings revealed that Nguyen had suffered multiple stab wounds and died from severe blood loss shortly before his body was discovered. The crime scene showed signs of a struggle, with blood stains found on the walls and furniture, indicating a violent confrontation.
As investigators delved deeper, they learned that Nguyen had dined with a friend, Le Van Doanh, just hours before his death. Witnesses reported that after their meal, Doanh had asked others to keep his presence at the gathering a secret and left the area abruptly the following morning. This raised suspicions about his involvement in the case.
Detectives are now focusing on the relationship between Nguyen and Doanh, as well as exploring any potential motives that could explain the murder. The investigation is complicated by the fact that the construction site was deserted at the time, leaving few witnesses and limited physical evidence.
As the case unfolds, many questions remain unanswered. Why did Doanh leave so quickly? Did he have knowledge of the circumstances surrounding Nguyen's death? The mystery deepens as investigators continue to piece together the events leading up to this tragic incident.
This case has become a significant point of interest for law enforcement and the public alike, raising concerns about safety and justice in the community. Further developments are awaited as the investigation progresses.
