Doctor kills pregnant mistress & dismembers her body after she threatened to expose the relationship
On Tuesday (14 Jan), Danh Son, a general surgery specialist at Vietnam’s Dong Nai General Hospital, was issued an indictment of three charges.
The 36-year-old faces charges of murder, robbery, and illegal possession of military weapons for allegedly murdering and dismembering his pregnant mistress to hide their affair.
Doctor kills pregnant mistress who demanded he took responsibility
According to the Dong Nai Provincial People’s Procuracy indictment, a 35-year-old woman named TTBN brought a relative to the hospital for treatment at the end of 2022.
The pair allegedly developed a romantic relationship despite both being married at the time.
In March 2024, the woman apparently informed Danh about her pregnancy, demanded that he take responsibility, and threatened to expose their affair to their families and workplace.
According to The Straits Times, Danh was afraid of the potential impact on his family and career, resulting in his decision to kill TTBN and dismember her body to destroy evidence.
