A man in his 60s remains in a critical condition and is fighting for his life while Ms Le and a woman in her 60s are said to be in a stable condition.
The day before the tragedy, Ms Le had shared a haunting Buddhist Facebook post in Vietnamese of a young child praying.
The translated caption read: ‘Your mind is good but your suffering is because you have to pay for the karma you have sown in the past.
‘Instead of blaming me, I should make amends and create blessings every day, the karma is paid off and the sky is clear.’
The post added: ‘Wish the honest people in this life are always in peace…’
Friends have since added sobbing emojis in reply to the post.

The Rottnest Ave blaze is believed to have begun in the garage around 5.30am on Sunday before spreading to the home’s staircase, trapping the family upstairs.
A neighbour bravely forced his way into the home and fought the flames with a garden hose before firefighters tried to reach the family caught in the bedrooms.
One firefighters was injured when he fell through an upper window and another was electrocuted in the rescue bid but both have since been released from hospital.
Fire and Rescue NSW said the three-bedroom home had no working smoke alarms and the fire crews were ‘devastated’ by the tragedy.

Firefighters have responded to more than 500 NSW residential fires since June 1, with 13 people dying in fires this winter. Just four died in winter fires in NSW in 2021.
‘Our people will be impacted,’ said fire chief Megan Stiffler. ‘A three-person fatality is devastating and sits with us uneasily.
‘We cannot stress enough (that) to keep your family safe at night at home, a working smoke alarm is critical,’ she told 2GB’s Ben Fordham on Monday.
‘House fires take hold so quickly. A working smoke alarm allows people to get out of that house as quickly as possible.’
Superintendent Adam Dewberry added: ‘Smoke alarms save lives.
‘Nearly 50 per cent of the homes impacted by fire this winter have not had a working smoke alarm.’
