Hanoi - A Vietnamese man suspected of torturing a Cambodian
child was apprehended in Ho Chi Minh City, local media reported
Thursday.
Nguyen Thanh Dung, 34, was identified as the man in a video which
went viral this week, depicting the strangulation and electrocution
of the child in Cambodia's Mondulkiri province, the Tuoi Tre
newspaper reported.
He was arrested late Wednesday evening by Vietnamese police.
Dutch national and plantation owner Stefan Struik, reportedly Dung's
boyfriend, was also arrested in Cambodia for involvement in the
torture, the Cambodian Phnom Penh Post newspaper reported.
Dung used Struik's mobile phone to record the abuse before uploading
it to the Dutchman's Facebook account, Mondulkiri province's deputy
police chief, Hang Chansothy, told the Phnom Penh Post.
Two Cambodian employees of Struik were also arrested alongside
Struik, although both were released Wednesday.
