Eyewitnesses said they saw three 'tall fat' men sneaking into the house at 3am. The housemaid caught them drilling a cabinet to steal assets and shouted. Thus, one of them pressed a gun on his head and threatened: “Shut your mouth if you want to stay alive.”
One thief shot at the maid’s head when their acts were caught by two others. The man was rushed to hospital for emergency care.
The burglars left two pairs of sandals at the scene.
At the time of the thieving, the house owner was visiting his child in Canada.
Earlier on May 25, two strange men poisoned two dogs in the villa to death, according to local residents.
Initial investigations found that the burglars might use a tear-shell gun. However, Lai Van My, police chief of Binh Chieu Ward, told Tuoi Tre on the afternoon that investigation results showed they did not use a gun for the attack.
