The disturbance occurred on the morning of April 13 when Nguyen Vu Thien Long, 29, from Hue City, central Vietnam, went to a boarding house at 194 Bui Thi Xuan Street to confront Le Thanh Hai, 30, from Ho Chi Minh City, over a personal dispute.
Hai, along with Tran Thanh Tu, 26, from An Giang Province, and Bui Van Phuong, 20, from Lam Dong, attacked Long with weapons.
