[Phù thủy Xyanua] Sa.t n.hân hàng loạt "TOP1 VN" là ai? - LÊ THANH VÂN (Phần 1/2)

Video framing (Part 1/2)

This video is presented as Part 1/2 of a commentary-investigation into Vietnamese serial killer Lê Thanh Vân (“the Witch”).

The creator claims Vietnamese courts still recognize her as the woman with the most confirmed murders, emphasizing her ability to:

• Convincingly deceive
• Poison repeatedly
• Steal money afterward

Main cases and pattern of crimes (1998–1999)

1) Murder of Võ Thị Lý (Jan 3, 1998)

• Lê Thanh Vân is introduced as gaining trust through an elaborate persona, including claims that she was a dentist who studied in Germany and could speak many languages.
• She works at a dental clinic owned by Đinh Văn Khâm, with an adjacent hospital connection.
• She later forms a relationship with Điều Danh Quang, who works at the same clinic.
• When Khâm’s mother (Võ Thị Lý) plans to fire Quang, Vân poisons Lý by adding a highly toxic substance (“Xan”) into her lemonade.
• Lý dies even after being taken to the hospital.
• That same night, Vân robs the clinic, stealing 900,000 VND.

Narrator’s analysis: Vân is portrayed as cold-blooded and strategic—choosing timing when victims are alone, using their routine (drinks), then having them taken to hospital to reduce suspicion, and stealing money immediately after killing.

2) Murder of Quách Cam Minh (June 2, 1998)

• Vân rents/gets access to another dental clinic using a business pretext (the video frames the “security guard” as acting like a company representative who rents the clinic).
• Minh is poisoned using the same method—poison added to his drink/alcohol.
• Minh is taken to hospital but dies.
• Vân returns and steals 900,000 VND.

3) Murder of Hen/Văn (mother of Điều Danh Quang) (June 1998)

• The victim is Quang’s mother, transcribed as “Hen Văn.”
• The video states Vân had conflict with the mother and may have had robbery motives.
• After a family meal, Vân leaves poison in the mother’s coffee/tea.
• The mother collapses and dies despite hospital care; the video reports a diagnosis of brain hemorrhage.
• The video raises whether Quang knew or participated, but claims there is no information confirming his involvement, even though they continue working together afterward.

4) Murder of Le Van Cam (Feb 1999)

• The victim is Vân’s brother-in-law.
• A financial dispute is cited as motive.
• After breakfast, the brother-in-law asks Vân to inject him with a drug; Vân injects poisoned painkillers.
• He dies.
• At trial, Vân claims she did it due to the brother-in-law’s debt default (12.5 million VND).

5) Attempted then successful killing of Hồ Thị Mộng Đào (1999)

• Vân pretends to help Dao, claiming she can connect her to jobs at hospitals.
• Vân poisons Dao’s food; Dao nearly dies quickly.
• Crowds delay suspicion; Dao is taken to hospital and survives initially.
• Later, Vân claims she has news that Dao fainted; when the night doctor arrives, Dao is already dead.
• The video presents it as “killed twice”: first via poisoning, then effectively completing the killing later without detection.
• Vân is also described as attempting to profit through money schemes:
  • forging a promissory note
  • later telling Dao’s mother she paid “hospital fees,” prompting the mother to pay $500,000 (as stated)

6) Murder of Võ Hữu Khie (1999, at a temple)

• Vân befriends a business director and brings him to a temple, claiming renovation work needs to be done.
• During lunch, he drinks poisoned liquor and collapses later at the temple, dying.
• The video says the target was robbery—specifically his motorbike—but Vân ultimately ends with no motorcycle gain, because police investigations disrupt her plan.

Expansion to 2000: higher audacity and arrest

7) Murder of Nguyễn Thanh Sơn (April 14, 2000)

• Under an alias (“Ly Ly Lan”), Vân gets close to Sơn.
• She cooks noodles; Sơn dies immediately after eating poisoned food.
• She takes him for emergency care, but he does not survive.
• The video says there is no information about any subsequent robbery or how much money was taken.

8) “Double crime” targeting a passenger bus (June 28 / July 1, 2000)

Vân targets ownership of a passenger bus and befriends:

• Owner: Trần Thị Sinh
• Driver: Nguyễn Văn

Poisoning sequence (as described):

• June 28: Symptoms appear during travel; Sinh is taken to hospital and survives due to timely care.
• June 29 (hospital): After the driver later visits, the driver Đồng (as transcribed) collapses and dies at the hospital.
• July 1: After Sinh is discharged and after going to the station, Sinh collapses again and dies.

Fraud/forgery attempt:

• Vân attempts fraud by leaving a handwritten note claiming Sinh sold the bus to Vân for 200 million VND.
• Sinh’s husband suspects wrongdoing, reports to police.

Police findings (as described):

• Connections of both women to the bus
• Vân’s presence around the deaths
• The sale document is forged
• Evidence cited at arrest: gold earrings and a bottle containing a corrosive substance

Key legal/forensic point from the video:

• The corrosive substance is described as difficult or impossible to detect at the time.
• Forensics reportedly couldn’t prove murder using that substance, so authorities initially prosecuted only for fraud/forgery, not murder—described as a limitation in prosecution.

Concluding narrative (creator)

The creator argues that the 1998–1999 cases share a consistent modus operandi:

• Deception → poisoning → hospital involvement → theft/financial gain or revenge
• The creator adds that Vân may have committed additional crimes beyond what was proven.

The creator states Part 2 will cover:

• what happened after the arrest
• details of additional crimes
• how police truly built the case
• Vân’s real identity/background and what led her to become such a “monster”
