• Nguyen Duc Nghia – murdered his ex-girlfriend and dismembered her body. On the morning of 17th May 2010, security guards at an apartment in Hanoi were horrified to find the mangled, naked body of a young woman on the rooftop. Authorities were immediately notified, and further investigations revealed the murderer to be Nguyen Duc Nghia, the victim’s ex-boyfriend.

From what Nghia said during interrogations, he and the woman were still seeing one another at the time of the murder even though they had broken up years before. But that fateful day, blinded by jealousy after hearing his lover’s phone call with her new boyfriend, Nghia stabbed her multiple times to death. The man then proceeded to cut off her head and fingertips to make the body harder to identify, then took a bus to the nearby Quảng Ninh Province, carrying the victim’s body parts with him in his bag, which he later disposed of in a river.
