Hanoi (VNA) – The Hanoi People’s Procuracy on June25 prosecuted 29 people for killing three policemen in Dong Tam commune of thecity’s My Duc district.
All the prosecuted persons are residents ofHoanh and Dong Mit hamlets of Dong Tam commune. Among them, 25 face the chargeof “murder” while the four remainders are accused of “resisting on-dutyofficers”.
According to the procuracy’s indictment, despitebeing well aware that the land lot at the Senh field of Dong Tam commune isused for defence purposes as confirmed by the Hanoi Inspectorate and theGovernment Inspectorate, in 2013, Le Dinh Kinh (born in 1936, a resident inHoanh hamlet) and some others set up a so-called “group of consensus” with theaim of re-occupying and dividing the land lot among themselves.
They frequently incited locals to filecomplaints about the land management and use by the Dong Tam administration,used the social network to spread the false information that the Senh fieldbelongs to Dong Tam commune, and called on local people to “struggle to keep theland”.
From 2017 to 2020, Kinh directed the “group ofconsensus” and many other people to cause a number of disturbances.
Upon learning that the Hanoi Department ofPublic Security coordinated with the air defence – air force service of theMinistry of National Defence to deploy personnel to protect the force buildingfencing walls around the Mieu Mon airfield on the Senh field, Kinh and hisaccomplices bought weapons with the aim of attacking the authorised force.
In early January 2020, learning that the policewere about to come to Dong Tam, Kinh and many others gathered at his house onJanuary 6, 7 and 8 to plot a fight against the police.
When the police arrived at Hoanh village inearly morning on January 9, the group used hand-made weapons to attack thepolice force. Although the authorised force used loudspeakers to repeatedly askthem to stop such acts, the rioters refused and resisted even more fiercely,with some throwing grenades at the police.
While moving to arrest the rioters, three policeofficers fell into a pit near Kinh’s house. Some of the rioters poured gasolineinto the pit and set fire, killing the three policemen.
As the authorised force broke into the house andfound Kinh holding a grenade and calling on others to resist, they decided toshoot him dead.
Investigation results show that Le Dinh Kinh andfour others were the masterminds, who both directed others to commit and directlyengaged in the murder of the policemen.
However, as Kinh had died, he was not includedin the case./.

During his stay in China’s Guangzhou city from 1924 to 1927 to prepare for the establishment of a Communist Party to lead Vietnam’s revolution, President Ho Chi Minh founded “Thanh nien” newspaper and released its first issue on June 21, 1925.

Since President Ho Chi Minh founded Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper in 1925, the Vietnamese revolutionary press has become the voice of the people. During the resistance war against the colonialists, journalists took great personal risks to inspire patriotism and the will of rising up against foreign invaders.

It has consistently delivered timely, accurate, and objective reports on both domestic and international events, serving the Party’s leadership, the State’s management, and the public’s demand for official news.
