According to the investigation, around 2 PM on 26/12/2025, a 58-year-old man met a woman at Cay Xoai restaurant in Long Ha hamlet, Dong Xuan commune, for a discussion. While he was waiting, his wife and daughter arrived, initiating a jealousy-fueled altercation and arguing with him, suspecting infidelity.

During the altercation, the restaurant owner, Duy's mother, intervened. She was pushed down and began bleeding. Duy, hearing the commotion, rushed out. Seeing his mother injured, he became enraged. He then grabbed a piece of wood and repeatedly struck the 58-year-old man in the hip and abdomen.

As a result, the victim suffered a ruptured spleen, damage to the small intestine, and 60% bodily harm. At the investigative agency, Duy confessed to the entire offense.
