A man has been given capital punishment for robbing and murdering his co-worker in Ho Chi Minh City in 2018. The municipal People’s Court on Wednesday sentenced Nguyen Hoang Phi, 24, who hails from the southern province of Binh Phuoc, to death for murder and robbery. His accomplices, Nguyen Dien Tai and Tran Van Tu, both 21, each received an 18-year jail term for murder and robbery. Tai and Tu were under 18 years old when they committed the offenses. The fourth defendant, 19-year-old Vuong Minh Tuan, was condemned to one year and a half in prison for robbery but he was given a suspended sentence. Tuan was under 16 years old when he committed the violation. According to the indictment, Phi was an employee of a local security guard service company.

At around 9:30 pm that night, Dat was patrolling the venue when he was attacked and tied up by Tai and Tu. The two also took the victim’s phone and VND1.5 million (US$65), while Phi was in charge of keeping watch.
