Vo Van Hung, handcuffed and escorted by uniformed policemen, was led into a police truck as his neighbors were wondering what causes his demise. It turns out the answer lies in the three names.

In this curious police mix-up, police in Dong Nai province should have arrested the other Vo Van Hung, born in 1958 in the central Da Nang city – who is charged with conning money.

This innocent Hung was born in 1959 in Soc Trang province in the south. Although his mugshot does not resemble the accused Hung’s face, he was detained for five days.

On November 11, three policemen stepped into his house and asked if he was Vo Van Hung, son of Vo Van Dong and Tran Thi Thanh. He said yes and was seized.

“I got handcuffed and taken away by the police in front of my neighbors,” Hung recalled.

Police later realized their mistake and released him.

“The police just took me [from prison] to Mien Dong bus station and showed me how to get back [home],” said Hung.

The hapless man has since requested a signed document testifying to his innocence but is yet to receive any.

Meanwhile, police captain Doan Van Den said he would gather Hung’s neighbors to announce the honest mistake.
