    Shanghai man executed for murdering his wife, hiding her body in freezer for 3 months

    While her body was in the freezer, the man assumed the wife's identity and used her money to date other women
    by Alex Linder June 4, 2020.

    A man has been executed in Shanghai after being convicted ofmurdering his wife and hiding her body in a freezer in their home for the following three months while he assumed her identity on social media and in text messages with her family.

    On October 17th, 2016, 30-year-old Zhu Xiaodong strangled his wife, Yang Liping, to death over what was described in court as “trivial” domestic arguments less than a year into their marriage. Afterward, he wrapped Yang’s body up in a quilt and hid it inside of their freezer. There her body stayed for the next 105 days.

    During this time, Zhu assumed his wife’s identity on WeChat, replying to text messages from her friends and parents who all apparently didn’t suspect a thing. Meanwhile, he used money from Yang’s bank accounts to take vacations, including one to South Korea, and to date other women.

    Finally, on February 1st, 2017, Zhu was forced to turn himself in, knowing that he could no longer keep the charade going after Yang’s father had asked the couple over for a birthday dinner that night.

    In August 2018, Zhu was given the death penalty for his crimes by the Shanghai No. 2 Intermediate People’s Court, however, his defense team argued that his sentence should be reduced as he has shown regret and Yang’s murder was one of “impulse,” not premeditation.

    However, prosecutors maintained that the death penalty was the only appropriate punishment, noting that Zhu had bought crime books as well as the freezer before murdering his wife.

    They also pointed out the extremely heinous nature of Zhu’s crime and the relaxed attitude he took afterward. After stuffing his wife’s body in a freezer, Zhu had gone out for drinks with a friend. While on the day that he turned himself in, he first “recklessly squandered” money on “personal pleasure.”

    Last year, the Shanghai High People’s Court upheld the ruling. On Thursday, officials announced that Zhu had been executed.

    'Mentally ill' father, 37, is executed in China for murdering his daughter's nine-year-old classmate in a school toilet after the two pupils argued

    A Chinese father recovering from schizophrenia was executed today for killing a classmate of his daughter's in a school toilet following a dispute between the two children.

    Lin Jianxia, 37, stabbed the nine-year-old boy to death in 2018 in a revenge attack after the pupil was said to have hit Lin's daughter during an argument.

    Although Mr Lin's lawyer defended the man's actions on the grounds of his mental illness, a local high court ruled that his schizophrenia had gone into remission at the time of the crime.

    The judge deemed that Mr Lin was capable of bearing full criminal responsibility and found him guilty of intentional homicide.

    Officers from the Wenzhou Intermediate People's Court carried out capital punishment on Mr Lin this afternoon after receiving an order of execution from the country's Supreme People's Court, according to a court statement.

    The supreme court deemed the nature of Mr Li's crime 'evil', his method 'cruel' and the consequences of the case 'serious'.

    It said that although the defendant had turned himself in to the police, the act could not justify a lighter sentence.

    It also rejected Mr Li's lawyer's claim that the man was mentally ill while carrying out the killing, calling the allegation 'untrue'.

    The authority instructed on Mr Lin's execution after the man had undergone two trials, both of which issued a death sentence.

    The local court said that the man had met his close family members before being put to death.

    The case marked one of the few instances in China, in which a person with a mental illness has been held responsible for their crime, convicted, punished and executed.

    The murder took place on the afternoon of September 21, 2018, at a primary school in Rui'an in the city of Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province.

    In an online statement from last March, the court said Mr Lin's daughter and the victim, Ye, had been involved in a minor altercation two days earlier.

    Mr Lin had demanded Ye apologise to her daughter in public, but Ye had refused, and this led the father to commit the crime, the court said.

    The father had carried a knife and entered his daughter's school, bringing Ye to the toilet before 'cruelly killing him', the statement read.

    A police report from 2018 said Ye had hit Lin's daughter during the argument and injured her in the eye.

    The police described the injury as 'minor' and said the girl didn't need to seek medical attention.

    The victim suffered multiple knife wounds to his back and neck and was rushed to hospital, where he was pronounced dead three hours later, according to Rui'an police.

    Mr Lin then called the police himself at the crime scene and waited for the police officers to arrive to arrest him, officers said.

    The Wenzhou Intermediate People's Court claimed that Mr Li's schizophrenia was in a state of 'remission' while killing Ye.

    A remission of schizophrenia is defined as a minimal degree of symptoms as measured by the Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale, according to Dr Henry Nasrallah, director of the schizophrenia Research Program at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine in the United States.

    The Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale is a medical system used for measuring symptom severity of patients with schizophrenia.

    Dr Nasrallah also said in an article that if schizophrenia patient maintained their state of remission for a year or two, 'they could well be on the road to recovery'.

    According to Mayo Clinic, a US non-profit organisation committed to clinical practice, education and research, schizophrenia requires lifelong treatment, even when symptoms have subsided.

    The court did not explain how long Mr Lin's remission had been before the crime.

    Mr Lin appealed against the court's ruling after being sentenced to death on March 1 last year.

    In a second and final trial last December, the High People's Court of Zhejiang agreed with the previous ruling.

    The legal handling of people suffering from mental illnesses has always been a controversial topic in China.

    The authorities would usually show leniency towards the perpetrators and spare them from jail if they are deemed to be mentally ill. Instead, the perpetrators would be taken into a mental hospital to receive forced treatment.

    One of the most high-profile cases happened in 2012 in Shandong when a college lecturer hit a mother and her four-year-old girl while driving. She then stripped herself naked and lay in the middle of the road to block the ambulance sent to save the victims. Delayed medical caused the girl to die.

    The lecturer was found to have 'an acute and transient mental illness' during police investigation and spared from any criminal responsibility.

    According to China's Criminal Law, people suffering from mental illnesses can only use the innocent plea when they 'cannot recognise or control themselves' during the crime. Those with the partial capability to recognise and judge while carrying out the crime are still subject to legal punishment.

    China executes man who killed two people in coronavirus-rage case

    A Chinese man who stabbed to death two people at a coronavirus travel checkpoint in the southwest of the country was executed on Thursday, the Supreme People’s Court said.
    Ma Jianguo was driving with friends to a village in rural Yunnan province for a karaoke party when he came to a barricade blocking his path.
    One member of the group tried to remove the barrier, sparking a dispute with people manning it.
    Ma, aged 24, then stabbed two checkpoint volunteers several times in the abdomen, killing them, the court said in a posting on its official social media account.

    At the time of the killings in February tens of millions of Chinese were under complete lockdown at home as the country grappled with a worsening coronavirus outbreak.
    “During a grade-one major public health emergency response in Yunnan province, Ma Jianguo refused to abide by epidemic prevention and control policies, as well as traffic control measures,” a ruling on the court’s website said.

    Since the coronavirus epidemic erupted late last year in the central city of Wuhan in Hubei, China has charged hundreds of people with offences related to the crisis.
    They include spreading “rumours” about the contagion, concealing an infection, and not complying with epidemic prevention guidelines.

    Ma’s execution is believed to be the first carried out for an epidemic-related offence.

    In Beijing alone, 113 people have been charged with epidemic-related crimes since a fresh outbreak emerged in early June, officials said this week.
    Chinese authorities have used the vague “rumour-mongering” charge to silence whistle-blowers, including 34-year-old Wuhan doctor Li Wenliang, who alerted colleagues to the virus in late December but was reprimanded by local authorities along with seven others.
    Li later died of the disease.
