Lawyer Tran Thi Ngoc Nu said that Thai's chain of actions was determined to be the biological father of baby A. but joined with Trang to scold A., directly using dangerous weapons with baby A.

The times Trang beat baby A., Thai were seen directly or monitored through the camera. This action of Thai means that the person who commits the crime with Trang, is the motivation and motivation for Trang to beat little A. savagely.

Although Thai's testimony at the investigating agency was to blame Trang that Thai had prevented and prevented Trang from beating baby A.... but this testimony contradicts the development of the case, with the chain of actions of Thai.

Regarding the request for additional expertise, the representative of the procuracy said that the assessment results that the investigating agency had carried out were grounded, so it was suggested that the trial panel continue to work. After hearing the recommendations, the trial panel entered into a discussion.

The jury thought that the recommendation of additional injury assessment for VA on the 7th, 10th, 11th and 12th December 2021 was grounded.

As for the proposal to change the crime, the jury said that after the results of additional investigation, the panel will consider and consider it.

Since then, the trial panel has decided to return the additional investigation file. The reopening time for the trial will be announced by the Court at a later date.

According to the indictment, NTVA's grandchild (born in 2013) is the biological child of Nguyen Kim Trang Thai and Nguyen Thi Hanh. In August 2020, Thai and Hanh divorced. Thai was assigned by the District 1 People's Court to take care of and raise A.

Around September 2020, Nguyen Vo Quynh Trang came to live as husband and wife with Thai at an apartment in Saigon Pearl apartment building. A. is also staying with Thai and Trang since this time.

Around October 2021, due to the COVID-19 epidemic situation, A. A. studied online at home, Thai assigned Trang to stay at home to take care of and tutor A.

During the process of living together from December 7, 2021 to December 22, 2021, Trang repeatedly beat and tortured the wild with her hands, feet, wooden sticks, whips, metal rods (connecting pipes of vacuum cleaners) man grandchild A. in many different ways, for many days, many hours.

There were days when Trang beat up A. in a state of no clothes, got down on her knees and raised her arms high, forcing A. to go into the doghouse with the dog, to keep her pillow in the doghouse...
