Long An Provincial Police announced on the evening of 18/2 that they are temporarily detaining Tai, a native of Vinh Hung commune, to investigate a murder charge.

Three years ago, Tai had been living with a 21-year-old woman in Tuyen Binh commune, and they had one daughter. As they were not legally married, the woman's father later prevented Tai from seeing their one-year-old child.

Tai then planned revenge, purchasing a knife. After 1 am yesterday, he climbed over the fence into the man's home, entered the mosquito net, and stabbed him multiple times, ignoring the victim's cries.

The 46-year-old victim was rushed to the emergency room but succumbed to his injuries. Police subsequently apprehended Tai.
