Gay man demands sex at knife point, killed
Print 
A Vietnamese man has been arrested for stabbing his gay friend to death early Sunday morning in Ward 15, Ho Chi Minh City’s Tan Binh district after the latter took out a knife and allegedly proceeded to rape him.
Locals told police they heard a loud shout from a barber shop on Pham Van Bach Street.
They looked through a crack in the door and found 35-year old Tran Dinh Hoa, the owner of the barber shop, in a pool of blood.
Police besieged the shop and arrested Truong Van Manh, 22, who was fleeing the scene.
Manh confessed he has known the victim for a half a month and that the barber often touched his “sensitive” parts.
He added he paid little attention to it as he considered such behavior a joke.
On Saturday night, Hoa invited Manh to sleep at his shop after they attended a wedding ceremony.
Hoa continued to touch him, but Manh turned him down.
Manh claimed that Hoa took out a knife to force him to have sex that night.
During the quarrel, Manh disarmed Hoa’s knife and with it, stabbed him to death.
The case is under investigation.
