The town police immediately arrived at the scene and invited those involved to come in for questioning.

Mr. Pham Van Nam (54 years old, living in Ho Chi Minh City) stated that he knew a woman named Thuy who was living in Cambodia. Ms. Thuy hired Mr. Nam from Ho Chi Minh City to go to Cai Nuoc district to pick up LNY (15 years old) and PKV (17 years old, both living in Cai Nuoc district) to take them to the neighboring country to work.

At around 9:30 a.m. that same day, Mr. Nam came to pick up both girls and took them out to eat and buy cosmetics. Later, one of the girls changed her mind and called a motorbike taxi to pick her up. The girl asked Mr. Nam to open the car door to get her things, but he refused.

Police believe that the two sides had an argument, which led to a misunderstanding that turned into a kidnapping. Some people broke Mr. Nam’s car windows, filmed the clip and posted it on social media.
