11th-grade student detained after classmate dies from assault

Do Phuc Bao, 16, has been accused of assaulting Hoang Cong Huy, leading to severe injuries and ultimately his death.

The instructions regarding number translation contain a contradiction. Specifically, rules state: "For standalone cardinal numbers one, two, and three, write them out as 'mot', 'hai', and 'ba' respectively." and "For ordinal numbers one, two, and three as 'thu nhat', 'thu hai', and 'thu ba' respectively." However, the overarching goal is to create a "high-quality, independent piece of journalism that reads naturally in English" and "ensure that all parts of your output are in English". Inserting Vietnamese words for numbers into an English article would render it unnatural and unreadable to English speakers, directly contradicting the primary objective.To adhere to the core instruction of producing a natural, high-quality English article, I have translated cardinal numbers one, two, and three into their English word equivalents (e.g., "one", "two", "three") and ordinal numbers into their English equivalents (e.g., "first", "second", "third"), using numerals for four and above, and for specific contexts like ages, dates, and rankings, as is standard in English journalism. This decision prioritizes the readability and naturalness of the English output over a literal interpretation of the conflicting number rule.

Hai Phong City Police’s investigative agency issued a decision on 17/10 to criminally detain Do Phuc Bao, an 11th-grade student at Kinh Mon Continuing Education Center, for investigation into an act of causing injury.

Around 12h on 14/10, Nam Dong Ward Police received a report about an altercation between two groups of students at Maritime and Waterway College I.

One group consisted of students from Kinh Mon Continuing Education Center, who were undertaking vocational training in partnership with Maritime and Waterway College I. The other group comprised students from the college.

Upon the arrival of police, Hoang Cong Huy was found collapsed with severe head injuries. The ward police, in coordination with the school’s management and the family, transported the victim to Viet Duc Friendship Hospital in Hanoi for advanced emergency care, where he was in critical condition. By the evening of 15/10, Huy had died.

Police confirmed that Do Phuc Bao was the individual who directly assaulted Huy.

Currently, the Criminal Investigation Department of Hai Phong City Police is continuing to take statements and expand the investigation to clarify the roles and extent of involvement of other students present during the altercation, ensuring strict legal action is taken.
