Suddenly, Mr. Hoang and Mrs. Ph. each grabbed a wooden stick and rushed to fight. Mr. Hoang used the wooden stick to hit Mrs. Ph. many times on the head and shoulders on a rural road in Tan Huong commune, Chau Thanh district, causing Mrs. Ph. to collapse on the road.
Although Mrs. Ph. had collapsed on the spot, Mr. Hoang continued to hit her head about 21 times with a wooden stick and only stopped when someone came to intervene. The entire incident was recorded by a resident's camera.
