However, very soon, the police recovered the clip that the security camera in the baby's room, showing the child being abused from 14 to 18 pm. As a result, baby A fainted, sometimes lost consciousness, vomited... Due to a serious case, Binh Thanh District Police transferred the entire case file to the Ho Chi Minh City Police to expand the investigation.

The cruel behavior of "step-aunt" Nguyen Vo Quynh Trang and Nguyen Kim Trung Thai has caused outrage in public opinion, many people think that it is necessary to prosecute these two criminals for "Murder". In response to this harsh public reaction, the press had a discussion with lawyers about what crimes should be prosecuted for these two subjects.

Fast and continuous attack level, strong attack intensity can be deadly; The affected positions on the victim's body are the key positions: head, chest, abdomen; Dangerous weapon. "Through the events, it can be seen that Trang intentionally performed the act and was aware that her behavior was likely to cause A.'s death," lawyer Canh affirmed.

As for Nguyen Kim Trung Thai, he knew Trang's criminal behavior but did not denounce it to the competent authority. This behavior of Thai can be criminally prosecuted for the crime of "Failing to denounce the crime".

In addition, Thai intentionally deleted the camera data to lose the image of the crime page, this behavior can be prosecuted for additional criminal responsibility for "Concealing a crime".

"For the child's father, who lives in the same apartment with the child and with the accused Trang, it is impossible for the child to be beaten and tortured for such a long time. Therefore, I think, Thai accused can hardly escape from the role of accomplices with Trang.

However, the prosecution of any crime against the Thai defendant depends on the testimony and evidence at the scene," said lawyer Phan Mau Ninh.

When the investigation process clearly determines which crime the accused's behavior is, the investigating agency will change that crime, or the People's Procuracy of the same level will change the crime. This is provided for in the Criminal Procedure Code.

Also according to lawyer Vinh, in legal terms, Mrs. Nguyen Vo Quynh Trang has no status with grandchild A. "She was just a guest, father's lover, but she abused the baby in that house, the nature of her even more serious" - lawyer Vinh emphasized.

Meanwhile, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoai Thu, former Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee for Social Affairs (now the National Assembly's Social Committee), said that in this case, the authorities were very prompt. get involved and work very responsibly.

"I would like the prosecution agency and relevant organizations to clarify that while A. was living with his father and his lover, he suffered any other mental abuse, such as scolding and swearing. criticism, or other fines?
