The suspected landmine explosion at a house in Nghi Son ward, Thanh Hoa province, which resulted in 10 people being hospitalized, is being urgently investigated by the police. The suspect has been confirmed dead after committing the crime.

A scene of grief amidst the festive atmosphere of Tet.

While the festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year was still pervading the streets, at around 6:45 PM on February 18th (the second day of the Lunar New Year), a loud explosion occurred at the house of Mr. LTH (born in 1974) in Bac Hai residential area, Nghi Son ward, Thanh Hoa province.

The explosion occurred right in the living room, where the family was gathered, causing chaos at the scene. Initial reports indicate the explosive device was a homemade explosive. The force of the blast injured 10 people to varying degrees. The victims were immediately assisted by residents and authorities and transported to the nearest medical facilities for emergency treatment.

The nighttime pursuit and the suspect's fate.

Upon receiving reports of the extremely serious incident, the leaders of the Thanh Hoa Provincial Police and other professional units immediately arrived at the scene. Investigation, forensic examination, and victim rescue operations were carried out swiftly throughout the night.

The suspect's identity was quickly identified as Kieu Van Thanh (born in 1972, residing in Ngoc Son residential area, Nghi Son ward). Thanh was the brother-in-law of the homeowner, LTH. However, while authorities were actively searching for him, the suspect was found dead, hanging by his neck, in the nearby Anh Phat oil depot area.

The suspect's death has shocked the public and raised many questions about the motives behind this brutal act, especially in the early days of the new year.

Efforts to save the victims.

On the night the incident occurred, representatives from the Provincial Police and local authorities visited and offered encouragement to the victims who were receiving treatment at Hop Luc International General Hospital.

Here, the provincial police requested that the medical team dedicate all their resources, mobilizing the best equipment and medicines to treat the victims. This timely attention somewhat alleviated the pain and panic of those affected by the horrific explosion.

Analysis from a real-life perspective

This case is not only a serious criminal incident but also a wake-up call about controlling emotions and resolving conflicts within families. Using homemade explosives to settle personal vendettas not only destroys the lives of others but also leads to a tragic end for the perpetrator.

Currently, investigative units are continuing to take witness statements and review related relationships to clarify the true motives behind Kieu Van Thanh's reckless behavior.

Legal perspective: With the perpetrator deceased, who is responsible for compensation?

Regarding criminal liability: According to the 2015 Criminal Procedure Code, if the sole perpetrator of a crime has died, the authorities will not initiate criminal proceedings. Criminal liability will only be considered if there is evidence suggesting the existence of accomplices who assisted in or concealed the crime.

Regarding civil liability: Even though the perpetrator has died, the obligation to compensate for damages (property, health, life, and emotional distress) remains. The perpetrator's heirs are responsible for fulfilling this obligation within the scope of the perpetrator's estate. Compensation includes medical expenses, funeral costs, alimony, and compensation for emotional distress (up to 100 times the basic salary for each victim of life-threatening injury).
