On April 13, 2024, he called his lover, asking her to come to his room to talk, and she agreed. At around 1pm the same day, she arrived at the room, where the authorities believe he convinced her to undergo an IV treatment to feel better.

At this point, the indictment alleges that he secretly added sleeping pills to the IV solution.

About an hour later, when the woman was unconscious, he allegedly killed her and dismembered her body into multiple parts, placing them into plastic bags and disposing of them at various locations in Bien Hoa City and Vinh Cuu district.

After disposing of the body, the authorities believe Son returned to his on-call room, rummaged through her backpack, and stole 2.8 million dong ($111), a gold bracelet, a ring, a necklace, a pair of earrings and two mobile phones.

According to the indictment, he then discarded the bloodstained clothes and blankets in the hospital’s trash bin to cover up the crime. He also allegedly took the murder tools to a plantation area in Long Binh ward in Bien Hoa City to dispose of them.

The following day, he allegedly took his lover’s valuables to a gold shop in Bien Hoa City, exchanging them for 113g of new gold and receiving over one million dong in cash. The authorities believe he used the victim’s money for personal expenses.

To further erase any evidence, the indictment alleges that he searched for the woman’s motorbike in the hospital’s carpark, removed the licence plate, and discarded it at Suoi Linh bridge.
