The police in the Mekong Delta province of Kien Giang has detained a 18-year-old man living in Rach Gia City for killing his mother for her jewelries, the deputy chief of the local police agency told Tuoi Tre on Monday.
The local police agency has decided to arrest Nguyen Kha Dat, who was born in 1997, for further investigation to prosecute him on two counts of murder and robbery, said Colonel Hoang Quoc Viet, deputy chief of the municipal police division in charge of social crimes (PC45).
At the investigation agency, Dat claimed that he killed his mother, Nguyen Thi Minh Trinh, 42, at their house at night on March 5, after his mother refused to offer him the money he needed to buy a new motorbike, said the police agency.
Dat said he pushed his mother so that she fell backwards on the floor after a fierce argument with her. After that, seeing his mother wearing many pieces of gold jewelries, Dat thought of killing her for the jewelries so that he can sell for money to buy a new motorbike, according to the police agency.
Dat told the police that he then took a piece of wood to hit his mother’s head two or three times.
After realizing his mother was dead, Dat took all the jewelries but an ivory bracelet, and carried her body to dump into a big earthen jar used to store rainwater on the back of the house. Dat also dumped all of his mother’s clothes into the same place to conceal about her disappearance.
According to the findings of the police in the field, after hiding the body of his mother in the jar, knowing that the body would likely stink up, Dat poured a lot of fabric softener into it in an attempt to conceal the crime as long as he could.

According to Nguyen Thi Van, 63, a neighbor, she smelled the stench several days before the police jumped in and found the body dumped in the jar for 24 days.
When Van asked Dat about the strange unpleasant smell, he replied that the stink came from the clogged sewer in the back of the house.
Trinh’s relatives held a funeral for her at her homeland in Bac Lieu on Monday after the body was recovered by the police.
