Earlier, Tin jumped into the river section flowing through Truong Xuan Hamlet (Son Tinh Commune), carrying his son V.V.T. (born 2019) and daughter V.N.M.A. (born 2023). Locals spotted the incident in time and managed to rescue all three from the water. However, the two-year-old girl was pronounced dead, while the six-year-old boy sustained injuries and is currently receiving treatment at Quang Ngai Maternity and Children’s Hospital.

According to police, Tin previously lived and worked in Dong Nai Province with his wife, B.T.T. (born 1993, originally from Binh Gia Commune, Ho Chi Minh City), and their two children. Around two months ago, following marital conflict, Tin brought the children back to his hometown in Dien An 4 Hamlet, where he moved in with his parents and worked at an ice factory in Thanh Ha Hamlet (Tu Nghia Commune).

Recently, Tin reportedly showed signs of deep emotional distress due to ongoing family issues. Prior to this incident, he had once taken his children to Co Luy Bridge (An Phu Commune) with the intent of committing suicide, but was unsuccessful.

On the morning of November 27, Tin took his two-year-old daughter to the local elementary school to request early dismissal for his six-year-old son, a first-grader. At approximately 10:30 a.m., local authorities received a report of the incident at Truong Xuan railway bridge.

That same afternoon, officials from Tu Nghia Commune visited the family to offer condolences and assist with funeral arrangements for the deceased child. They also provided support to the injured boy who remains hospitalized.

The Quang Ngai Provincial Police are continuing their investigation to determine the exact cause of the incident.
