Authorities in Vietnam have arrested suspects in connection with two separate fatal stabbing incidents occurring in early October.

In An Giang province, Tran Thi My Chi was detained for the murder of a woman identified as Ms. M. The incident, which occurred on October 3, reportedly stemmed from a dispute over child support payments. Chi, who was previously serving a suspended sentence for drug trafficking, surrendered to police after the altercation.

In Ca Mau province, 40-year-old Tran Chi Cong was arrested for the murder of a 6-year-old girl and the wounding of two others. The attack targeted a primary school teacher and her two children, aged 11 and 6. Preliminary investigations indicate the motive was jealousy regarding a past romantic relationship between the suspect and the mother.
