A court in north-western Vietnam sentenced six men to death for raping and murdering 22-year-old student Cao My Duyen in a case that shocked the country earlier this year, state media reported on Monday. Toan then called the student’s mother to ask her to pay him, but the mother refused to do so. Toan and the five men were sentenced to death on Sunday. Two men and one woman were each sentenced to between three and 10 years in prison for their involvement in the case. Duyen’s mother was sentenced to 20 years in prison in November 2018 for her involvement in the drug ring.
