On the afternoon of April 25, the People’s Court of Quang Ngai province held a first instance trial in the case of beating a shipper with two broken arms that caused a stir in public opinion more than a year ago.
Truong Dinh Nhat and his wife at trial
According to the indictment, on the afternoon of February 17, 2023, shipper Lam Anh Dat went to Mr. Truong Dinh Nhat’s house (Nghia Lam commune, Tu Nghia district, Quang Ngai province) to deliver 2 azalea plants.
Seeing that the flowers were not as expected, Nhat neither accepted nor paid for shipping. After that, there was a conflict between the two sides, leading to Nhat and his wife, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy, using a stainless steel chair and an iron tube to beat shipper Dat… As a result of the assessment, Mr. Dat’s injury was 24%.

“Due to a small conflict, he used an iron pipe to hit vital positions such as the head, shoulders, and back; the defendant hit him very hard, causing injuries and was mainly responsible. As for the defendant’s wife, Thuy, she used a chair to hit and hug her. The shipper’s leg for her husband to beat is an act of helping Truong Dinh Nhat commit murder” – the representative of the Procuracy stated his opinion.

Reporting the incident in court, Nhat said that due to a dispute over delivery fees, he attacked the shipper, claiming that he was insulted first. The presiding judge denied, saying that Nhat himself had not heard the incident clearly but that he attacked the shipper was a hooligan act.
Based on the proposal of the Procuracy, based on the serious nature and behavior of the defendant, the People’s Court of Quang Ngai province sentenced Truong Dinh Nhat to 9 years in prison and Thuy to 3 years in prison.
