The police force established mobile teams to go to homes to collect DNA samples for mothers of martyrs with difficulty traveling.
Implementing the Project to collect and analyze DNA samples of martyrs' relatives to identify the remains of martyrs with missing information in accordance with the direction of the Government and the National Steering Committee on searching for and collecting martyrs' remains, in the past time, Thanh Hoa Provincial Police has coordinated with departments and branches to comprehensively review, verify, collect, and clean up information on relatives of martyrs whose identities have not been determined, and update data on the National Population Database. At the same time, it has proactively reviewed, searched, and approached families whose relatives are martyrs but whose specific burial places have not been determined.
Through screening, the province currently has 37,720 unidentified martyrs, with a total of 39,137 cases of relatives needing to collect DNA samples. Up to now, in Thanh Hoa province, 933 DNA samples have been collected and sent to the Genetic Identification Center.
After the comparison and analysis process at the Gen bank provided by the National Institute of Forensic Medicine with the data of martyrs' relatives collected by the Department of Administrative Police for Social Order ( Ministry of Public Security ) nationwide, 16 cases of DNA of martyrs' remains buried at Duc Co cemetery (Gia Lai) were initially discovered to be identical (through the mother's family line) with the DNA of 30 martyrs' relatives, including 2 martyrs from Thanh Hoa province: Trinh Van Hai, born in 1952, from Thanh Loc commune, Hau Loc district and martyr Trinh Quang Lam, born in 1952, from Nga An commune, Nga Son district. From this result, Thanh Hoa Provincial Police continued to coordinate to review and match, successfully identifying the identities of the 2 martyrs.
Based on careful verification and scientific appraisal results, on June 27, 2025, the Department of Meritorious People ( Ministry of Home Affairs ) announced to the families of the martyrs that the appraisal results of the biological samples of relatives and the remains of the two martyrs Trinh Van Hai (Hau Loc) and Trinh Quang Lam (Nga Son) were consistent. This is a result with profound humanistic meaning, demonstrating the spirit of "repaying gratitude", showing gratitude to those who sacrificed for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland, while affirming the important role of the police force in the journey of connecting the past - present - future with heart and responsibility.
Currently, Thanh Hoa Provincial Police continue to focus on coordinating the implementation of the peak plan to collect DNA samples for relatives of unidentified martyrs in Thanh Hoa province to further identify the martyrs, lighting up hope for martyrs' families across the country.
