Ho Duy Hai case and the perpetrator’s escape plan

After lawyer Tran Hong Phong announced the new facts that were considered as an evidence for Ho Duy Hai’s innocence, the mysteries of the case were not really over despite the final ruling issued by the Trial panel of cassation which met strong protest from the public.

Lawyer Tran Hong Phong sent a petition saying that the perpetrator was left-handed based on the results of a forensic examination with the neck wound of the victim, while Ho Duy Hai’s family said that Hai was definitely right-handed.

The case of Cau Voi Post Office was heated up by the fact that the suspect Nguyen Van Nghi was born in 1979 in Cai Lay, Tien Giang province, who was identified during the past 12 years suddenly disappeared, replaced by a person named Nguyen Huu Nghi with his birth in 1984 and the residence is Tan An, Long An province.

Many people begin to believe that these two Nghi are not the same, and it seems that Ho Duy Hai has almost become a life-saving figure for an unidentified assassinator. Facebooker Do Nga has a short analysis with the title: Cicada changes its shell, with the following content:

At first, the witness named Nguyen Thi Loan denounced Nguyen Van Nghi as a real killer. However, the investigating police invited Nguyen Huu Nghi to work, not Nguyen Van Nghi. And of course Nguyen Huu Nghi had real alibi. And he was released. This is the first step of the “cicada escape.”

Until 12 years later, when the Supreme Court opened a cassation session, this jury issued a conclusion that, according to the results of police investigation in Long An province, “Nguyen Van Nghi” was not involved in the  concerned case. That is, they have taken the alibi of Nguyen Huu Nghi to use for Nguyen Van Nghi. So, Nguyen Van Nghi was also innocent.

Get the alibi of a person whose name is similar to the main suspect and changed the object. So the main suspect escaped. The cicada escaping this corpse is extremely elaborate. It lasted for 12 years and seamlessly connected from local to central level. Disgusting! So, who is Nguyen Van Nghi and they have to build a complicated plan to help him escape?” the Facebooker concluded with another question.

Journalist Truong Chau Huu Danh summarizes a series of errors in Nghi’s name based on the official documents of the Long An province’s Police Department in this case, very strange, but more strange is that the Trial Panel of the Supreme People’s Court still considered it normal.

The picture on the left is a document of the Long An province Police Investigation Agency determined from 2016 that there is no one named Nguyen Van Nghi but only Nguyen Huu Nghi. The picture on the right is Nguyen Van Nghi named in the Cassation decision made on May 8.

1- The arrest warrant states that Nguyen Duy Hai, but actually Ho Duy Hai was detained. It is unable to understand why the arrest warrant mistakenly recorded their family names.

2- Long An province Police Investigation Agency took 4 rings from Ho Thi Thu Thuy (Ho Duy Hai’s younger sister) to put them into “search and seizure” items in the case.

When returning material evidence at the time of recording as Nguyen Thi Loan – another time- Nguyen Thi Kim Loan.

3-The plate of a motorbike (likely of the killer) parking in the yard of the post office: It was 62F6-0842 but changed into 62F5-0842.

4-The police stated that Nguyen Huu Nghi was the person interrogated by the local police, however, in the cassation hearing, his name was Nguyen Van Nghi

5-A more strange detail is the indictment recorded back to the witness’s testimony. While witness Dinh Vu Thuong recorded the testimony that “The young man’s face could not be clearly seen and could not be accurately identified”, the indictment translated into “Witness Dinh Vu Thuong found that the accused Hai was sitting in the post office at 19.39 (where the incident occurred).

In general, there are errors of all, but the nature does not change.

In general, all of 17 judges can’t change …

Journalist Tran Dinh Thu also made an absurd point that was unbelievable but did not understand why the Cassation Review Panel gave it a pass.

Photo 3: The independent journalists experimented at the site of Cau Voi Post Office at the same time that the indictment condemned to find that Ho Duy Hai had to run with his motorbike at a speed of 300 km/h to be present at Cau Voi Post Office for being at the scene when the crime was made

It was a bloody chopping board and a statement that the victim had her head banged. He wrote: “A chopping board rolled in the scene and definitely covered with blood cannot make interesting for the police. This cutting board must be captured at that time and carefully fingerprinted.

But the other day Mr. Nguyen Hoa Binh said that the investigator didn’t know it was used as a weapon in the case so they didn’t seize it. Until more than 2 months after capturing Ho Duy Hai and then testifying to know it was a weapon. Do you think people are children? You look down on the people already. What is the truth? It was due to having to swap Ho Duy Hai to free Nguyen Van Nghi, so it was only the destruction of such evidences. Mr. Nguyen Hoa Binh, an entire force of investigating officers of a province investigating such a horrific case without seizing the cutting board, sorry to say that dogs believe it but no one believes it.”

In another development, journalist Truong Chau Huu Danh and the Clean Newspaper team analyzed and conducted an independent investigation of journalist Tran Dinh Thu wrote:

The indictment make Ho Duy Hai a super driver who ran at a speed of 300 km/h to the scene to kill two girls

According to the indictment, before running the distance of 15 km to the Cau Voi post office, Hai had to do 5 more activities and run with his vehicle in a total time of 16 minutes and 21 seconds.

5 things that Hai did before running 15 km include:

1. Pawning. The object is his phone: go to the pawn shop to give owner some time to have a look and bargain, then sign contract, get out sim, take money and write a receipt. It may take at least 7 minutes.

2. Run from the pawnshop to change a motorbike. It takes at least 2 minutes.

3. Run to the cafe to pick a friend up. It takes at least 2 minutes.

4. Take this friend to another cafe. It takes at least 1 minute.

5. Go to the coffee shop and take the money to give to a friend. If you give money, one side or the other must count for 1 minute.

So he did 5 things for 13 minutes.

It left only 3 minutes 21 seconds, and Hai must run a distance of 15 km. He must drive at a speed of nearly 300 km/h to rush to the Cau Voi post office to kill two girls in bad and small towns at night.

A new question raised when a guy named Nguyen Huu Nghi has asserted that he has never worked with the police, unlike Colonel Pham Minh Tam said that he worked and proved his alibi.

The commentary by journalist Truong Chau Huu Danh titled “I just talked with Nguyen Van Nghi” with the following content: “For many years, the public has been struggling with the character ‘Nguyen Van Nghi, born in 1978, living in Cai Lay, Tien Giang.’ This character appeared in the first days of the case. But then, there was no more in the record – or rather, the unrelated judicial authority should put it aside.”

Those who are directly involved in the initial proceedings, coincidentally, die very early. The case therefore covers another layer of mystery.

Yesterday, the group reporters of Dan Viet newspaper tracked character Nguyen Van Nghi according to press information put a few decades ago. And records of 4,000 local families have been leaked. Result: No one is Nguyen Van Nghi born in 1978!

Finally, suspect Nghi at Cau Voi case was born in 1984, and was Nguyen Huu Nghi, living in Hoa Ngai hamlet, An Vinh Ngai commune, Tan An city, Long An. The veil covering Nguyen Van Nghi 1978 has been lifted up. However, Nghi born in 1984 has no roots. He is a farmer, he is close to my house. The day of the case, Nghi was also invited.

So all conspiracy theories saying suspect Nghi having close relationship with a senior officials are not true

Nghi is my sister’s classmate from the first two classes. I know Nghi when I was in 3rd grade at a village school and Nghi was in the first grade! If calculated correctly, I have known Nghi for 30 years.

Since Nghi was originally defined as 1978 and lived in Cai Lay, all verification directions deviated from the case. All conspiracy theories have been turned on. Until the day when the Vietnamese people went to “hunt“, Nghi was suddenly appeared and surprised everyone.

After the case, Nghi has still been living normally in the locality, selling motor vehicle insurance at the car registration point of the Police Traffic Police Department of Long An province and many customers because Nghi is happy and enthusiastic.

If I say his origins, Nghi doesn’t have any cheeks, the same farmers as me and his house about 2km from my house. There is no reason for the Long An police to cover him.

This afternoon, I called Nghi and he replied: “I am not related [to the case]. I have never worked with the police about the case. Many people introducing themselves as your friends called me but I replied that I know nothing.”

But, why have so many mysterious layers covered Nghi for 12 years so that the public opinion will focus on a very ordinary character like this, each one will come up with new conspiracy theories.

However, the sudden appearance of the blood-colored cutting board image, then the sudden appearance made the society so surprised that it was not in vain.

I know the truth is coming, very close, provided that the Ministry of Public Security and the Investigation Agency of the Supreme People’s Procuracy are involved.

It is necessary to search all previous participants/invitees and redo all. The rumor about Nghi “born in 1978, a grandchild of a senior official” exists 12 years and has never been corrected- reminds me of other thoughts.

Anyway, the secret layer about real Nghi has been decoded. Other curtains will then be lifted.
