“Assistants” to “hunters” are thousands of members of a site called “seeking information about keo mut choi boi”, the “association of hunters of keo mut choi boi,” etc.
The wave to track down the cold-blood person has spread from the south to the north. “I’m in Vinh city. I’m ready to catch him if he goes to Nghe An,” one wrote on his facebook. “I’m in District 10, HCM City but I’m willing to join you to find him.”
Meanwhile, some members are raising funds for the victim’s family online.

The accident happened when two young men riding an Air Blade motorbike hit a man who was walking home on the right sidewalk from Yen Hoa Park on Thanh Cong Street, Nguyen Thai Hoc commune, Yen Bai city. Doan Hiep, 24, was the rider of the bike with Linh sitting in the back. The two did not stop but ran away after the accident.
