18 November 2010 :

at an appeal trial the Vietnamese People’s Supreme Court confirmed Nguyen Duc Nghia's death sentence for beheading and robbing his ex-girlfriend Nguyen Phuong Linh on May 4 in Hanoi, state media reported. Nghia was sentenced to death at the hearing court on July 14.
Police said Nghia may have killed his ex-girlfriend to rob some properties for money, because he was a game addict.
Nghia still has a chance to ask for State President Nguyen Minh Triet’s amnesty, the judges said at the appeal trial.
