Yesterday (September 20), the girl’s parents went to harvest rice, so they took the girl to her brother’s house and left her with their 8th-grade nephew to look after. At home, the siblings had a conflict over a toy, which led to the above incident,” said the leader of Yen Dinh commune.

“After the incident, the older brother put the body in a sack and hid it in the corner of the garden. When the body was discovered, the child admitted it. The police will have specific information about the identity and details of the incident,” said a representative of the Yen Dinh commune leadership.

Currently, the Thanh Hoa Provincial Police Investigation Agency has entered the scene to examine, collect documents, investigate and determine the cause.
