In 2001, Crown Prince Dipendra, inebriated at a family gathering, fatally shot 9 relatives, including the king and queen, before turning the gun on himself, nearly wiping out the Nepalese royal family.
After using drugs, Nguyen Nam Dai Thuan, believing his wife looked down on him, sought her out with a weapon. Turned away, he waited two hours for his sister-in-law to return from work, gaining entry and killing 4 people.
While riding her SH scooter on a deserted road, Ms. Thuong was suddenly attacked by a man who tried to steal her vehicle. She fought back fiercely, only later learning from the police that he was the suspect in a quadruple homicide.
Awakened by the cries of his neighbor, 12-year-old Tuong rescued a severely injured Tran Tan Phat, hiding him in his home and barring the attacker's entry.
