A
teenage boy who had dropped out of school after ninth grade killed three people
and chopped off the hand of another to steal some gold in the northern province
Bac Giang last month.

(the girl) leads a gang of 7 young boys to commit organized rape and robberry
at her age of 17
The horrific murders and robbery shocked the
nation.
The suspect Le Van Luyen is not even 18 yet
and admitted his crime to police in detainment.
In May last year Nguyen Duc Nghia, 26, killed
his ex-girlfriend after making love to her to steal her motorbike and other
assets.
He then mutilated her face and finger tips in
the hope of deceiving investigators.
Serious crimes including murders are not a new
phenomenon in Vietnam and have been happening for long. But what is changing –
and at an alarming rate, according to the police – is the profile of murderers.
Nguyen Minh Duc, deputy director of the
Ministry of Public Security’s Center for Criminology and Crime Prevention,
tells Tuoi Tre the average age of the criminals has decreasing rapidly.
Last decade most murderers were aged 30-45,
but now 41 percent of all homicides are committed by people aged 18 to 30, a
survey by the center of 4,000 killers between 1997 and 2010 found.
People in the 30-45 age group now account for
only 34 percent of murders.
According to Cong An Nhan Dan (Police)
magazine, there were 1,180 murders in 2009 and 1,339 last year.
In the past homicides were mostly the results
of long-festering conflicts. Now people kill each other in bursts of rage,
crimes of passion, Duc says.
Spine-chilling murder cases
HTT from the southern Dong Nai Province is a
prisoner aged just around 20 in Thu Duc Prison in the central province of Binh
Thuan.
She recalls her murder of her close friend: “I
grabbed a knife and just wanted to kill her to satisfy my rage. I was not
thinking of anything else.
“I was furious after coming to know that she
stole my boyfriend and spoke ill of me to my friends.
“I stabbed her dozens of times till she passed
out and died. I thought then she deserved such a death and calmly erased traces
of the crime.
“Now I feel repentant but see many challenges
in returning to normal life. I got 18 years in prison and have been here for
three years.
“I only felt horror at my behavior a year
after coming here.”
NTP of Ho Chi Minh City was jailed for 18
years for the murder of her close friend and robbery.
“I enjoyed going to the discotheque every
night. One day my parents refused to give me money and so I thought of robbing
my close friend of whom I was also jealous because she was better at studies.
“I went to her house, stabbed her, and stole
her motorbike to get money to go dancing.
“Now I know that was wrong and I… have to pay
the penalty for it,” she says with tears rolling down her cheeks.
HTN, 25, a prisoner in Dong Nai, says he feels
great regret for his crimes of rape, murder, and robbery.
“I could not understand why I raped an
11-year-old girl near my house.”
HTN says he dropped out of school early and
joined friends in his neighborhood to watch sex films and became obsessed with
it. He has spent eight years out of a sentence of 18 years in jail.
“I loathe myself,” he says.
