According to the verdict, Thuy got acquainted with a woman named Vuong while travelling in Moc Chau, Son La in July 2017. Sometime later, Vuong made many phone calls to Thuy to persuade her to sell drugs from Son La to Hanoi to earn profits. If Thuy accepted the offer, Vuong would introduce sellers to her so that the two sides can communicate directly, and Thuy agreed. Via Vuong, Thuy knew an ethnic minority man named Vung in Moc Chau. Vung later contacted Thuy to discuss about drug dealing. However, Thuy said that she has no cash but only a seven-seat car Mercedez Benz, and she also does not have clients to sell drugs. Thuy and Vung later agreed that Thuy drove the car to Son La in exchange for drugs. At the same time, he would lend her another car to bring drugs to Hanoi, and promised to introduce buyers to her upon her arrival in Hanoi.

 After reaching the deal with Vung, Thuy drove her car to Moc  Chau to exchange for drugs on August 1. The car was valued at 4 billion VND. Vung agreed to exchange it for 30 heroin cakes and lent her a Mazda pickup truck to carry drugs to Hanoi. As soon as she arrived in Hanoi, Vung would show her the place where heroin cakes were hidden in the truck and introduce buyers. After receiving the car with 30 heroin cakes hidden inside, Thuy drove it to Hanoi. When she reached Hoa Binh, she was arrested along with 30 heroin cakes weighing as much as 10,440.79 gram and several related objects.

 At the investigative police office and the trial, Thuy pleaded guilty. Her confession matched documents and evidence collected during the investigation. After reviewing the full process of the case, the jury of the provincial People's Court handed a death penalty to her./.
