Vietnamese gamblers rescued from kidnappers in Cambodia

Vietnamese police on Tuesday rescued a 19-year-old youth who had one of his fingers chopped off and sent to his parents in order to threaten them to repay money he lost gambling in Cambodia.

Nguyen Minh Tan, 19, was found in a locked apartment, along with Han Loi, a Cambodian man who was in charge of guarding gambling losers, in Bavet Commune, Svay Rieng Province.

Vietnamese police arrested Han Loi and confiscated a knife and chopping board believed to be used to cut off the fingers of gamblers to be sent to their families for demanding ransom.


The police planned the rescue for two Vietnamese gamblers – Tan and Truong Toan – on July 17 after their families reported that they had received fingers of their sons in letters sent from Cambodia, demanding ransom to get their sons back.

The kidnappers got wind of the fact that police were searching for the Vietnamese men and sent Toan back to Vietnam, but kept Tan in the apartment.

Toan was detained in a house in Binh Phuoc Province until he escaped on July 19.

Toan and Tan told the police they were locked in a room and beaten up by three people – Han Loi, a Vietnamese woman named Hanh and her Cambodian husband named Huong – after they lost money gambling in Cambodian casinos early this month.

The couple told them to call their families and asked for payment. When the families did not send the money, they ordered Han Loi to chop parts of the gamblers’ fingers and send it to the families.

Police are continuing to investigate the case.

    They are gamblers and they are Yuon, and they gambled in Cambodia. Why did the Yuon police come to arrest them in Cambodia?

    Casino business is predicated on the desire of poor people wanting to become rich. No difference of that being in the business of a loan shark, by charging borrowers exuberant interest for short term loan. I believe they are both immoral business proposition to be involved.

    Since when "cambodian" kidnappers named Han Loi or Huang? Those are Vietcong mafia illegal immigrants in Bavet.

    This is unexceptionable! How can Vietnamese Polices be entering Cambodia and do a rescue mission like if it was their own country? I feel so sorry Cambodia. The authority is useless. History will repeat itself if Cambodia doesn't wake up, more lost land to Vietnam. Sadly, I can only pray for a miracle...

    Some guys did not read the story very well before responding.

    Those gamblers were held captive in Cambodia but they were sent back to VN by casinos' associates after words leaked, but still held captive there.

    The focus of investigation is kidnapping--not gambling. Typically, if someone demanded a ransom, that's kidnapping; again, "kidnapping" and "ransom" are the main focus of investigation--at least, preliminary. In this particular case, the Vietnamese police officers made the right call.

    How did Tan's parents know the severed finger belong to their son. Should have asked for more proof.

    If there was a ransom demand, then there must have been a kidnapping, and therefore we'll focus on the "kidnapping" as we're conducting our investigation into nature of the crime. Rest assured, justice will be done for the victim. Further, a person simply cannot just clip another person's finger and expect to get away with the crime. It won't happen in my watch.

    Hi Dumb azz 12:05 AM
    You are Khmer but why did you disguise and posed that question?
    Yuon like to kill people to keep country stays as communist state. Abhisit is Thai who ordered to kill Thai people to keep Thailand out of Communist. Hun Sen ordered to kill Khmers because Yuon Hanoi says so.
