Ho Van Nguyen, the last culprit, arrested yesterday
Ho Van Nguyen, 29, with Laotian name Thao Ngo, was from Ta Poong Commune in Se Pon District in Laos. Security officials in Savanakhet Province in Lao said that Thao Ngo’s confession to Laotian police matched the statements of two of the Vietnamese culprits, Ho Van Cong and Ho Van Thanh, who had been arrested earlier.
Thao Ngo’s initial statement was that Ho Van Cong, as the instigator of the ransom and murder plan, had asked Ngo to join in the kidnapping plan because he had a gun.
Police officials in Vietnam learnt that Thao Ngo was hiding in his brother, Ho Van Duc’s house. Laotian police were informed and immediately moved to arrest him.
High ranking investigators and staff from the Criminal Science Institute under the Ministry of Public Security arrived in Quang Binh Province to exhume the bodies of the five aloe wood hunters for further investigation.
