Tuan was angry because he did not receive a commission, so he had an intention to kidnap the garden owner for ransom.

Tuan hired Tin and his accomplices for 100 million VND to implement the plan, 20 million in advance. Tuan continued to contact business friends in Lam Dong, asking for a place to “send people to rehab” but actually to detain the victim.

On December 4, Tuan rented a car to take the group from Ho Chi Minh City to Ba Ria city, called the owner of the garden, pretended to introduce someone to buy land, and then controlled him to put him in the car, covered his mouth, tied his hands and feet, and carried him away.
