The three teams and six individuals included the police in Dong Nai province's Bien Hoa city; the Police Department of Criminal Investigation in Social Order; the Police Department of Criminal Technique of Dong Nai province; five police officers and one local resident.
The Chairman of Dong Nai provincial People’s Committee also gave merit certificates to these teams and individuals.
Dong Nai Police arrested Tran Tu Dien, 23, from the Mekong Delta province of Bac Lieu and Ngo Van Tam, 20, from Tra Vinh province, on December 26, two days after they killed 26-year-old Bui Van Liem, while he was asleep in the rented house they shared with him in An Binh Ward.
Liem had homosexual relations with Tam and he once promised to give Tam VND500 million (US$24,000). Tam asked Liem many times for the money but Liem kept making excuses.
A few days before Christmas, Tam requested Liem to give him the money so that he could pay for medical treatment for his girlfriend, but Liem ignored the request. Annoyed at this, Tam persuaded Dien to help him kill Liem. The two killed Liem with knives and then cut up his body into pieces. They then packed it into two bags and threw it into a canal 500 meters from the rented house.
The next morning, local residents who went out to exercise found the bags and reported to the police.
After investigation, the police caught Tam while he was working in Bien Hoa city on December 26. From Tam’s confession, the police arrested Dien later the same day.
