Storekeeper found hanging in police custody

The warehouse head of Korean tire maker Kumho in Binh Duong was yesterday found hanging at a local police station where he had been held for questioning over missing goods.

The Ben Cat District police found Nguyen Cong Nhat, 30, dead, apparently after he had hanged himself with a telephone wire in the meeting room of the police station.

Nhat, 30, of Tien Giang Province, had been head of a finished goods warehouse at the local My Phuoc III Industrial Park from where Kumho had lost some 6,000 tires worth over VND6 billion (US$289,000) last year.

Last Thursday the Ben Cat police had called in Nhat for questioning, Nguyen Thi Thanh Tuyen, his wife, said.

Nhat’s family has yet to agree to an autopsy on his body.

The police are investigating.
