Phuc had been living with a young woman and her biological daughter as a couple in a house in Lai Thieu Ward since early 2026. During their cohabitation, Phuc repeatedly used his hands and feet to beat the girl, causing injuries.

According to the investigation, a specific incident occurred on 26/3. Phuc reportedly kicked the child, causing her to fall onto the mattress, after she refused to eat and cried. He then hit her buttocks and slapped her face. The abuse only stopped when the child's mother intervened. The mother later posted a video on social media, exposing her boyfriend's actions.

During questioning by police, Phuc admitted to the acts of abuse.
