The incident occurred yesterday when the victim's son, monitoring via a security camera, observed his mother engaged in normal activities around 3 p.m. Nearly two hours later, upon returning home from work, he discovered his mother lying unconscious behind the house with head injuries. She was immediately taken to Cho Ray Hospital for emergency treatment. The family subsequently reported the theft of two motorbikes, a phone, and 300,000 VND in cash.

Following four hours of investigation, authorities identified Bach Cong Hau, residing in Phuoc Hung 2 hamlet, as the perpetrator.
