Earlier, Tung suspected his wife of having an illicit relationship with a 56-year-old man in Binh Hang Trung commune, which caused a conflict.

Yesterday afternoon, Tung and his 15-year-old son went to the "rival's" home to talk. A quarrel and scuffle broke out, injuring Tung's son. Tung then used a knife to stab the opponent, who died at the scene, before surrendering to the public security.
