Nguyễn Văn Lém (1931 or 1932 – 1 February 1968), referred to as Captain Bảy Lốp or Ew Tu, was a member of the National Liberation Front, responsible for killing the wife and six children of a South Vietnamese military officer Lieutenant Colonel Nguyễn Tuan. Lém was later captured and summarily executed in Saigon by General Nguyễn Ngọc Loan during the Tet Offensive. The execution was captured on film by photojournalist Eddie Adams. The execution was explained at the time as being the consequence of Lém’s admitted guerrilla activity and war crimes, and otherwise due to a general "wartime mentality".
