Meanwhile, Huynh Mai’s father, Huynh Van Sau, said he called the Vietnamese Embassy in South Korea several time to ask about the judgement of the man who killed his daughter, but was unable to get through.

Sau said his family received over VND400 million from South Korean organizations and he used the money to redeem his fields. According to Sau, the Korean court should invite or inform his family about the verdict.
