On June 11, groups of persons armed with guns and knives attacked the headquarters of the People’s Committees of Cu Kuin’s Ea Tieu and Ea Ktur communes, including the communal police stations, killing nine people, including two communal officials and four police officers, and injured two others.
At the homes of the martyrs, General Lam, a Politburo member, said even in the time of peace, officers and soldiers of the police force continue to endure significant sacrifices.
He affirmed that the Party, State, and Ministry of Public Security always care for and effectively implement policies and measures to support the families of fallen police officers. There are various forms of encouragement and sharing to help such families and the entire people's police force overcome these great losses, said the minister.
On the occasion, the minister gave financial assistance worth 500 million VND (21,212 USD) each to build houses for the families of Major Hoang Trung and Major Tran Quoc Thang; savings books worth 500 million VND each to the families of martyrs Nguyen Dang Nhan and Ha Tuan Anh. Each family also received 50 million VND from the central crime prevention fund.
