Vietnam jails man for 2006 killing of compatriot in Wales
Gwent police say it is Vietnam’s first prosecution of a citizen for a crime committed in UK
A Vietnamese national has been jailed in his home country for killing a compatriot in south Wales 14 years ago, following an unprecedented cross-border investigation and trial.
Tu Minh Le, 47, fled to south-east Asia following the death of 44-year-old Tran Nguyen in November 2006. An investigation between the National Crime Agency, Gwent police and Vietnamese authorities eventually tracked down the suspect in Vietnam.
