On October 6, Nguyen Duc Anh stood trial in Dong Nai for the murder of three family members, including a mother and her two children. The incident occurred after a personal dispute with his ex-girlfriend, which he claimed led him to commit these heinous acts.

During the proceedings, Duc Anh admitted that his actions were 'inhuman' and apologized to the victims' family, expressing a desire for leniency in his sentencing. He was charged with murder and illegal possession of military weapons.

The court heard that the tragedy unfolded on September 3, when Duc Anh, after consuming alcohol with friends, decided to confront his ex-girlfriend, who had ended their relationship. Despite having no prior conflict with the family of his ex-girlfriend, he attacked them, resulting in the deaths of 36-year-old Ho Thi Mai and her two children, while her husband, Nguyen Viet Quang, survived with serious injuries from 31 stab wounds.

As the trial progressed, the judges focused on Duc Anh's motivations and the circumstances leading to the attack. He acknowledged that he had previously expressed intentions to harm his ex-girlfriend during a drinking session but claimed he was dissuaded at that time. However, he later returned to her neighborhood armed with knives, intending to execute his plan.

The court also examined the chilling details of the attack, which left the victims in a tragic state. Duc Anh's actions were premeditated, and he had even devised a plan to carry out the murders, which he later admitted to in court.

Witnesses, including the father of the ex-girlfriend, recounted their horror upon discovering Duc Anh on the roof of a neighboring house and their attempts to intervene. The court highlighted the profound impact of Duc Anh's actions on the victims' family, stating that no apology could ever compensate for their loss.

The prosecution has recommended the death penalty for Duc Anh, reflecting the severity of the crimes committed. The trial continues as the legal proceedings unfold, with the family of the victims still grappling with the aftermath of this tragic event.
