Criminal prosecution of the fire that killed 4 students on the day of worshiping Mr. Cong and Mr. Tao?

The incident happened on December 23, the victims were all students, in which 2 of the dead victims were siblings, so the pain of the victim's families increased even more.

Regarding the fire that killed 4 students on the day of worshiping Mr. Cong Ong Tao (February 4), on the morning of February 5, Lawyer Dang Van Cuong, Head of the Legal Law Office (Ho Chi Minh City Bar Association) Hanoi) stated that this is a particularly serious incident, claiming the lives of four people.

Authorities will now investigate and clarify the development and cause of the fire. In case there are grounds to show that someone has violated regulations on fire prevention and fighting, or has unintentionally caused death, criminal cases will be prosecuted.

According to lawyer Cuong, according to initial information, there were 5 students organized to worship Mr. Cong and Mr. Tao. After turning the votive paper, the group of students did not water or collect the ashes, but went to the house to have lunch, then the four of them went to bed. The other person locked the door to drink tea at the beginning of the alley, and when he returned, he found a fire had happened.

As a result, 4 people who went to bed died, only one of the students was out alive at the time of the fire.

Lawyer Cuong analyzed, the investigation agency will take the testimony of the living, the witnesses, as well as other professional gathering measures to determine the relevant circumstances. In particular, if there are grounds to show that the person who is still alive is the person who burned the votive paper but did not water the fire, did not throw the coal ashes, but locked the door to go out... then the responsibility of this person will be considered. .

If with a situation where a normal person can be aware that such behavior will be dangerous but subjectively do not take safety measures, resulting in fire and death of others, can be determined to be at fault and in this case can be criminally prosecuted for the crime of "Inadvertently causing death".

"The investigative agency will not prosecute a criminal case if the investigation results determine that no one is at fault in this case or the person at fault has died," lawyer Cuong said.

According to Mr. Nguyen Van X. - who witnessed the fire in shock, said: "I stood on the 5th floor and saw the fire burning, at the same time, the explosion was very loud, but I did not hear anyone calling for help inside. or whatever".

According to Mr. X., his house is near the scene of the fire. But Mr. X. said that the time of the fire was at noon, moreover, the entrance to the scene was very small, the two sides of the high-rise buildings were obscured, so not many people knew how to save.

"It wasn't until my son downstairs rushed back and called his father, the fire was so big, many people died in it, that I was shocked to know that the fire caused such a big disaster. The incident happened so quickly..." Mr. X. lost his mind.

According to lawyer Cuong, regarding this tragic case, there are many opinions to discuss. Why is it that when there is a big fire, the victims are all healthy young men who do not call for help and find a way to escape? After burning the votive paper, the group of students still ate dinner before going to bed, so why did the meal time last for an hour without anyone noticing the fire? Normally, bringing fish to release will bring votive ashes to pour, why does the group of students only bring fish to release?...

"The issues related to this tragic incident, the authorities will investigate and clarify," said lawyer Cuong.

It is known that the tenants here include Mr. Le Bat Thang (SN 1997, in Trieu Son district, Thanh Hoa, 4th year student of Water Resources University); Giap Van Nam (born 1997, in Bac Giang province, 4th year student at the University of Water Resources); Tran Duy Hung (born in 1997, born in Nam Dinh, 3rd year student of Irrigation University) and Le Khac Son (born in 1997, from Trieu Son district, Thanh Hoa).

Around 12 o'clock, the brothers Son and Duc turned gold at the door of the inn, directly on the ground, without any tools, and the brothers Nam and Thang went to drop fish at Dinh Khuong Thuong lake, then also turned into gold. together. When the gold coins are no longer burning, they all go into the house, don't pour water or sing away the ashes, but go in and eat in the house, don't drink alcohol.
