Three Family Members Found Dead in Dong Nai: Victims Shot in the Head

Authorities in Dong Nai Province, Vietnam, have confirmed that the three victims found dead at a local agricultural business were shot in the head, following forensic examinations that revealed fatal gunshot wounds.

Shocking murder at a family-owned business

According to sources from the Dong Nai Provincial Police, the victims — a husband, wife, and their young granddaughter — were discovered on the morning of October 3 at the Thien Hanh agricultural purchasing agency in Hamlet 6, Dak Nhau Commune.

The deceased were identified as:

• Mr. D.D.Th. (47) – the owner of the agency,

• Mrs. C.H.H. (48) – his wife, and

• Miss D.T.T. (11) – the couple’s granddaughter.

The scene was found in disarray, with clear signs of struggle and disturbance, according to police reports.

“All three victims died from gunshot wounds to the head,” the forensic report confirmed.

Security footage captures armed suspect

Video from the family’s home security cameras captured a masked man wearing a helmet and face covering, holding what appeared to be a long firearm, entering the victims’ yard around the estimated time of the attack.

Authorities are analyzing the footage and pursuing several investigative leads to identify and apprehend the suspect.

Senior police officials personally lead investigation

Recognizing the case’s grave and shocking nature, Major General Nguyen Duc Hai, Director of Dong Nai Police, immediately assigned two deputy directors — Colonel Le Manh Hung, Head of the Criminal Investigation Department, and Colonel Lam Van Long — to the scene to direct the investigation on site.

The case has also been reported to the Ministry of Public Security, with the Criminal Police Department and the Institute of Forensic Science deploying specialized teams to support local authorities in collecting evidence and tracking the killer.
