Vietnamese-American son-in-law arrested for alleged murder of 94-year-old father-in-law

California police arrested Tran Trong Khanh for allegedly murdering his 94-year-old father-in-law, citing "fatigue from providing care."

Juan Valencia, a spokesperson for the Sonoma County Sheriff's Department, California, announced on 19/8 the details of a "shocking" murder in Santa Rosa, leading to the arrest of 71-year-old Tran Trong Khanh. Khanh is accused of murdering his father-in-law.

On 11/8, Khanh informed authorities that his 94-year-old father-in-law, Nguyen Van Sy, had died at his hillside home on River Road. Authorities initially determined that Sy died of natural causes while under the care of family members at the residence.

"At that time, we did not detect any signs of trauma or foul play. Sy's body was then released to the family," the Sheriff's Department stated.

However, due to suspicions, Sy's son reviewed home security camera footage and discovered Khanh placing a plastic bag and pillow over Sy's face, suffocating him. Based on this footage, police arrested Khanh on the morning of 16/8.

Valencia stated, "This is a cold, callous murder. We interrogated Khanh, and he said he committed the act because he considered his father-in-law a financial burden. He was tired and no longer wanted to provide comprehensive care for the elderly man."

Khanh is currently being held at the Sonoma County jail and is scheduled to appear in court this week.
