Mother of Two in Hanoi Accuses Husband of Brutal Beating Inside Apartment: “All I Could Do Was Cover My Head and Endure”
A young woman in Hanoi has come forward to expose the domestic violence she has suffered for months. According to her account, her husband assaulted her right inside their apartment, leaving her with a ruptured eardrum, brain concussion, and multiple injuries across her body.
The victim, Nguyen Thi Thu Trang (born 1996, living in Yen Nghia Ward, Ha Dong District, Hanoi), recalled the horrifying night that took place around 9:45 p.m. on July 28 at their apartment in Dai Mo Ward.
“We had a small argument. I had barely said a few words before he lost his temper. He started hitting me with his hands and feet—on my head, face, chest, and stomach. I tried to run away, but he chased me down. Then he dragged me out into the apartment hallway and continued beating me,” Trang recounted, her voice trembling.
She said the husband’s rage went on for several minutes.
“There was an elderly woman who saw it happen but was too afraid to intervene. Only when the neighbors in our apartment group chat warned each other did people rush over to help me,” Trang said in tears.
“It took several people to stop him.”
The incident occurred in a crowded apartment complex, shocking many residents who witnessed it. Several neighbors had to physically intervene to stop the assault. After the beating, Trang was seriously injured and taken to the hospital.
Doctors diagnosed her with a ruptured eardrum, brain concussion, and multiple soft-tissue injuries. According to medical records, she was hospitalized for treatment from July 30 to August 4, suffering from exhaustion, anxiety, and psychological trauma.
Once she regained composure, Trang reported the incident to the Dai Mo Ward Police and filed an official complaint. On November 5, she underwent a medical forensic examination at the Hanoi Forensic Center.
“It’s been over three months, and my left ear still can’t hear properly. Every time the weather changes, I feel pain and constant ringing in my head,” she said.
A Marriage Full of Scars
According to Trang, marital conflicts had persisted for months, often arising from small, daily issues. She revealed that this wasn’t the first time she had been assaulted, but she endured it for the sake of her children and her hope for a peaceful family.
“I once believed he would change, but things only got worse. Sometimes, I had to hide at my neighbor’s house to avoid being beaten,” she shared.
After the latest attack, she decided to file for divorce in October, and the court is expected to issue the official decision on November 21.
Both Trang and her husband had gone through previous marriages and each had children of their own. They started living together in 2023, officially registered their marriage in March 2024, and later had a baby together.
“When my baby was just three months old, I had to go back to work to earn money. Since the divorce, I’ve been the one directly raising the child. I only wish for my kids to have a peaceful childhood, free from the violence their mother endured,” Trang said, her eyes welling up.
“I Hope the Law Protects the Vulnerable”
Despite her injuries and trauma, Trang remains determined to pursue justice.
“I just hope the authorities will handle the case strictly and make sure the abuser is held accountable. No one deserves to be beaten and live in fear,” she said firmly.
The story of this mother of two is more than a personal tragedy — it’s a wake-up call about the ongoing issue of domestic violence that continues silently behind closed doors.
Behind those apartment walls, countless women still suffer in silence, believing they must “endure” for the sake of their families — until they simply can’t anymore.
“I chose to speak up — not only for myself but for all the women who are still being hurt like I was,” Trang said, tears streaming down her face.
