VietNamNet Bridge - A Vietnamese bride was reported dead after jumping from the 14th storey of an apartment building in Kyongsangbucdo province, in the Southern part of South Korea on February 2.

 

According to the Vietnamese Embassy in South Korea, the woman, Tran Thanh Lan, from the Southern Province of Hau Giang was 22 years-old.

 

According to her husband, Ha Jang Su, 35, they were married in September 2007 and went to South Korea on January 12, 2008.

 

After leaving, Lan didn’t feel comfortable with her new life and repeatedly asked to return to Vietnam. Her husband bought her a ticket but she committed suicide before leaving.

 

Lan’s mother sent a petition to the South Korean Embassy in Vietnam asking them to investigate the death of her daughter. The Vietnamese Embassy in South Korea is coordinating with local police.
