The victim's ex-wife Ms. Li told us that her ex-husband Zhang was from Hengshui City, Hebei Province. She has a good wife and a pair of lovely daughters. Although the family is neither rich nor expensive, the family is very happy.
Until 20 13, Zhang met a divorced Zhao who was far away in Heyang, Shaanxi Province through an accidental friend on the Internet.
Seeing that Zhang was burly and honest, Zhao took the initiative to pursue and express his affection to him. Then Zhao's series of sweet words made Zhang elated and out of her wits.
His wife asked for help again and again, and friends and relatives kindly reminded him, but they didn't make Zhang change his mind, so he embarked on the road of no return.
In August of 20 17, he ruthlessly abandoned his wife and daughter to find Zhao.
In this way, the two of them lived together. Since Zhao separated from her ex-husband, she has been addicted to the internet all day. After meeting Zhang, she seems to have caught a lifeline.
Ms. Li said that since she divorced her husband, she has been taking care of her children while working. She always believed that her husband had been taken away. He is just confused for a moment, and one day he will come to his senses and come back to her.
However, Zhang, who is thousands of miles away, is still immersed in his new love. His wife's true feelings will never impress him. Everything his ex-wife said turned a deaf ear, not a word.
Ms. Li said that on June 23, 20 16, Zhao killed Zhang.
According to Zhao, she took advantage of Zhang's carelessness, hit him on the head with an iron ladle, and then stabbed him to death with a knife, in order to let him die.
Zhao said that in February 2065438+2009, the eldest daughter would go back to her hometown for the New Year. Zhang was so angry that he smashed the glass of his daughter's garage. He kept sending messages to her daughter to return to the city. At that time, Zhao felt that something was wrong with him.
Later, the eldest daughter went to work in the city. Zhang often sent some photos of roses to her daughter on WeChat, and sent food and drinks to the shop where her eldest daughter worked. It is impossible for people to introduce this item to her. He said that she liked her eldest daughter and wanted her to be his lover.
If Zhao didn't agree, Zhang hit him. Zhang didn't like Zhao's second daughter very much. He only bought things for his eldest daughter, not his second daughter, and threatened to kill her.
According to Zhao's confession, he knocked Zhang unconscious with an iron ladle, and then cut a hole in Zhang's arm with a knife, and no bleeding was found.
After that, he took a pair of scissors and stabbed Zhang several times in the heart. Until 9 pm on the 23rd, he saw Zhang motionless and cold. Then he called the police and said he killed someone.
Weinan Intermediate People's Court held that Zhao killed Zhang for fear that he posed a threat to his daughter. This behavior has constituted the crime of intentional homicide.
However, in view of the fact that the defendant voluntarily surrendered after committing a crime and truthfully confessed the facts of the crime, he was given a lighter punishment according to law, sentenced to life imprisonment and deprived of political rights for life.
However, the victim's ex-wife and his wife thought that Zhao was a premeditated and prepared criminal act, so they appealed to the Shaanxi Provincial High Court with their two daughters, and Zhao also appealed.
At present, the Shaanxi Provincial High Court made a final judgment on the third day, dismissed the appeal and upheld the original judgment.
The court held that the appellant Zhao could not correctly handle the contradiction with the victim and then killed the victim, which constituted the crime of intentional homicide.
