Le Sy Tung, a 33-year-old resident of Dong Nai province, was taken into custody on the morning of October 6th, officials confirmed. He is the sole suspect in the brutal killing of three individuals at an agricultural products depot in Dak Nhau commune, a crime that has sent shockwaves through the local community. Tung is currently undergoing intensive interrogation as investigators work to uncover the motive behind the killings.
The gruesome discovery was made on the morning of October 3rd, when the bodies of three victims were found at the T.H. agricultural depot. The victims were identified as the business owner, 47-year-old Mr. D.D.T.; his wife, 48-year-old Mrs. C.H.H.; and their 11-year-old nephew, D.T.T.
Initial forensic examinations revealed a chillingly calculated crime: all three victims had been killed by single gunshot wounds to the head.

The investigation quickly gained momentum after police recovered security camera footage from the scene. The CCTV video captured a key image of a man, his face fully concealed by a hat and mask, present at the depot around the time the murders are believed to have occurred. This critical piece of evidence became the focal point of the massive search operation launched by the Dong Nai Provincial Police in coordination with specialized units from Vietnam's Ministry of Public Security.

With the primary suspect now in custody, the investigation will focus on establishing a clear timeline of events and determining the reason for this horrific act of violence.
