Murder of Ne:m seller Nang Can thiem.

| April 25, 1969. Mrs. Chan Tien's employee was investigated about the second wife of Mrs. Chan Tien's husband, who was also the employee of Mrs. Chan Tien. The employee was a witness to the shooting of Mrs. Chan Tien, but the employee did not see the face of the murderer. She also provided information that after the arrest, the defendant was taken to do a planned re-enactment at the store. That information contrasted with the words of the defendant's claim. However in regards to this, there was no photo taken during the planned re-enactment. Somehow the court had concluded that the defendant voluntarily participated in the planned re-enactment. The court attempted to find a motive for the Mrs. Chan Thiem murder whether or not it related to paramour or a business conflict of interests, because she was also broker for land trade. | Punch card
