Reportedly both get beaten by french city

A man has been given capital punishment for robbing and murdering his co-worker in Ho Chi Minh City in 2018.

The municipal People’s Court on Wednesday sentenced Nguyen Hoang Phi, 24, who hails from the southern province of Binh Phuoc, to death for murder and robbery.

His accomplices, Nguyen Dien Tai and Tran Van Tu, both 21, each received an 18-year jail term for murder and robbery.

Tai and Tu were under 18 years old when they committed the offenses.

The fourth defendant, 19-year-old Vuong Minh Tuan, was condemned to one year and a half in prison for robbery but he was given a suspended sentence.

Tuan was under 16 years old when he committed the violation.

According to the indictment, Phi was an employee of a local security guard service company.

He was dispatched to Ngoc Chau Company along with Bui Van Dat and some other people from April 1, 2018.

On the evening of October 5 the same year, Phi and Dat were on duty during the same shift.

Phi then planned on robbing his co-worker and contacted Tai and Tu for their assistance.

The man waited until Dat went out for some errands and let his accomplices enter the place.

At around 9:30 pm that night, Dat was patrolling the venue when he was attacked and tied up by Tai and Tu.

The two also took the victim’s phone and VND1.5 million (US$65), while Phi was in charge of keeping watch.

As Dat screamed for help, Phi arrived and told the other two robbers to kill the victim to prevent him from reporting the case to police.

Despite Dat begging for mercy, the three strangled him to death with an electric wire.

They took Dat’s body to outlying Binh Chanh District and buried it at an empty land plot.

On November 15, 2018, Phi and Tuan stole Tai’s motorbike and sold it to Cambodia for some cash.

In the following month, Tai’s father discovered that Tuan was involved in the motorbike theft and took him to the local police station.

Tuan admitted his wrongdoing to officers, but went on to accuse Phi, Tai, and Tu of murdering and robbing Dat.

Police then launched an investigation into the case and found Dat’s body.

In addition to the application of artificial intelligence technologies, the Viettel Data Mining Platform also integratesspecialized knowledge from sectors such as marketing, asset management, finance, and risk management, to help optimize operations in enterprise.

The Viettel Data Mining Platform has been specifically developed according to the specific data demands of each business to ensure in-depth analysis, in line with the goal of creating a digital society in Vietnam.

In addition to providing a reporting system that helps governments and businesses make smart decisions and recommends sales based on data science, the platform also features anomaly detection and advance warning of risks orabnormalities in the transaction data of units.

This is the 4th technology product in a series of nearly 40 Made-in-Vietnam technology products tested, selected and introduced by the Ministry of Information and Communications in 2020.

According to Dang Duc Thao, Deputy Director of the ViettelCyberspace Centre, with the digital platforms, Viettel’stechnology products will participate in promoting the development and application of artificial intelligence and other new technologies across all fields, creating breakthroughs in the national digital transformation programme.

Speaking at the meeting, the VNAT Deputy Director General Ha Van Sieu said that the tourism cooperation between ASEAN and three countries of China, Japan and the ROK has been enhanced with the effective implementation of many projects in recent years.

For Vietnam, China, Japan and the ROK are the three leading consumer markets with the strengthening of cooperation in many promotion activities.

However, the tourism cooperation activities of ASEAN+3 last year were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and Vietnam has been heavily affected. In 2020, Vietnam welcomed only 1.9 million tourists from China, Japan and the ROK, a year-on-year decrease of 82%.

Vietnam expected that the tourism cooperation plan among ASEAN+3 during 2021-2025 will begin to be implemented effectively this year. The countries will continue to share the most up-to-date information on the epidemic as well as guidance on safe activities, policies and trends related to tourism in order to prepare well for the future of tourism.

At the meeting, delegates heard reports on tourism cooperation between ASEAN countries and China, Japan, and Korea.

The representative from China reported the practical activities to deploy the Action Plan to implement the Joint Declaration on the ASEAN-China strategic partnership for peace and prosperity (2016-2020).

The Japanese side provided information on the progress of tourism cooperation for the implementation of the Vision Declaration on ASEAN-Japan Cooperation and Friendship and the implementation plan adopted in Tokyo in 2013.

The representative from the ROK tourism introduced activities to carry out the new Action Plan on implementing the Joint Declaration on Strategic Partnership for Peace and Prosperity (2016 – 2020).
