Fugitive caught during a bad luck-dispelling ritual<\/h2>\n
\n

We all have our own opinions when it comes to religions and our faith. But for many people, worshipping deities, or partaking in rituals are a part of their daily lives. Perhaps it gives them a peace of mind to believe there\u2019s a divine force watching over us all.<\/p>\n

But for this wanted fugitive, whichever higher being that was watching over her, probably decided that the only chance for her to redeem herself was to face justice.<\/p>\n

To be more specific, perhaps that was exactly why she was caught right in the middle of a ritual to dispel her \u201cbad luck”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Here’s how the impossible situation played out after a cat-and-mouse chase with the authorities that lasted 3 years.<\/p>\n

She was arrested for drug hoarding but ran away to escape jail time<\/h3>\n

Back in April 2018, then-27-year-old Vi Th\u1ecb Th\u01b0\u01a1ng, hailing from Ngh\u1ec7 An Province, was arrested for hoarding drugs and given jail time, reported Ti\u1ec1n Phong<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

However, she was granted a deferment to her sentence, as she was raising a baby at the time.<\/p>\n

Th\u01b0\u01a1ng took advantage of the opportunity to run away in an attempt to escape the prison sentence. Between 2018 to 2021, she constantly changed her location, remaining undiscovered and evading capture by the authorities.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t until last Sunday, 23rd May 2021, that she decided to drop by her hometown to visit her relatives. She had assumed the police were too busy assisting in the legislative elections to go after her.<\/p>\n

That false assumption turned out to be her undoing.<\/p>\n

On the same day she returned home, Vi Th\u1ecb Th\u01b0\u01a1ng hired a shaman to perform a ritual to help alleviate her \u201cbad fortune\u201d. However, as she was in the middle of the ritual, local police stormed in to detain her.<\/p>\n

Perhaps she was indeed unlucky this time, or perhaps this was the universe giving her a sign \u2013 a second chance to atone by answering for her crimes.<\/p>\n

In any case, the woman will now face extra charges for her runaway attempt on top of drug hoarding.<\/p>\n

\n

If you can\u2019t do the time, don\u2019t do the crime<\/h3>\n
\n

We\u2019re no experts in the spiritual arts, so we can\u2019t say for certain if offering tributes to deities can change your fortunes or not. But we can<\/em> say this: once you\u2019ve broken the law, there is no ritual that can magically cleanse you of your sins.<\/p>\n

The only way for you to be free is to face legal repercussions for your actions. So, as a popular saying goes, if you can\u2019t do the time, don\u2019t do the crime.<\/p>\n
