QUẢNG NINH — A man killed his wife before committing suicide last night in Quảng Ninh Province’s Móng Cái City.

According to zing.vn, the victim was Nguyễn Thị Huyền, 38, from Hạ Long City.

Nguyễn Văn Hưng, 38, Huyền’s husband, was living in a boarding house in Móng Cái City’s Hải Xuân Ward. He killed his wife with an AK-47 following a domestic dispute.

After shooting Huyền, he fled to his ex-wife's house in Hải Hòa Ward.

At that time, his ex-wife named Yến was not at home. Hưng took four people hostage, including his two children, his sister-in-law and another person.

After being alerted to the situation, the police deployed officers to the scene. However, after 30 minutes of negotiations, Hưng turned the gun on himself.
