According to an indictment made by the provincial People's Procuracy, Phan Thi Hue, from the HCM City's Binh Chanh District, was found to be trafficking 1.2kg of heroin last October when she was crossing Moc Bai International Bordergate. The drug was hidden in the sole of a pair of sandals in a brown bag.
Hue declared that when she was on a bus running from Cambodia to Vietnam, a strange woman asked her to help bring a pair of sandals to the country. The woman would receive it after Hue crossed the border.
During investigations and at the court, Hue persistently pled not guilty and said she did not know about the woman as well as the sandals containing heroin. However, the investigation police had identified that the strange woman was Phan Thi Hang, from the central province of Thua Thien – Hue, who had for many times contacted Hue on her hand phone.
After Hue was arrested, her husband left his living area in Binh Chanh District without notifying the local authorities.
Hang has run away. The police is still investigating the case.
