Nghe An police
have arrested a 24-year-old man for allegedly killing four people of a
family, including an infant, on July 2 after he was caught stealing lemons
from the victims’ farm.
Vi Van Hai of Tuong Duong District confessed to the
murders, Ho Sy Tien of the Ministry of Public Security said late Sunday.
According to preliminary reports, Hai was stealing
lemons when he was detected by Lo Van Tho, the owner of the land and Hai’s
neighbor in a remote village near the Laotian border.
After a quarrel, Hai suddenly killed Tho with a knife.
He then went looking for Tho’s wife Le Thi Yen and their
11-month-old baby and killed them.
He only left after killing Tho’s mother Vieng Thi Chanh
at a nearby stream, the police said.
But Tuoi Tre newspaper reported that Hai's motivation
for the crime was Yen's rejection of his love and things snowballed after Tho
caught Hai stealing.
Hai claimed that Yen also loved him and he had told Tho
about this several times, the paper reported.
After killing Tho, Hai killed Yen because she refused to
go away with him, the newspaper quoted an unnamed police source as saying.
Hai’s brother-in-law Vang Van Ha said Hai used to be a
gentle and quiet person and that he was married with two children.
“Hai has a farm a kilometer away. After the massacre, he
went back and was at his farm as usual.”
