"Dan confessed that he needed money to play online games and decided to kill and rob the woman",said policeman Nguyen Duy Duong.
"He is too young to be put in prison for the crime he committed, but we will send him to a reeducation camp, which may release him after he shows enough good behavior", Duong explained.
