On the morning of July 30, Yan Haojie's intentional homicide case will be pronounced at the Shanghai No. 1 Intermediate People's Court, and the parents of the victim, Miss Liu, will attend the trial.
On July 25, the parents of the victim, Miss Liu, went to the cemetery to pay tribute to their daughter. Miss Liu's mother told the surging news reporter that since the accident, the parents of defendant Yan Haojie have never apologized, "They did not have a phone call, did not apologize." Nothing anyway, his relatives and friends did not come. ”
Miss Liu's mother said that their only appeal is that the court sentence the defendant to death, "there is nothing he asks for, only ask the court to sentence him to death, it is enough, we have always emphasized that this is the result that is needed." She also said that if the court does make a death sentence, "we will inform my daughter as soon as possible." ”
The first trial of the case was on November 19, 2020, when the First Branch of the Shanghai Municipal People's Procuratorate alleged that at about 8 o'clock on March 20, 2020, defendant Yan Haojie drove to his father-in-law's residence in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, asked his wife and victim Liu for money to return gambling debts in the bedroom on the second floor, and after being refused, he stabbed Liu in the neck with a knife, causing Liu's death. In order to destroy the body, Yan Haojie fled the scene after igniting books and other items in the bedroom with a lighter, causing serious damage to the second floor of the house and burning the body. Yan Haojie voluntarily surrendered after committing the crime, and truthfully confessed the above-mentioned criminal facts after arriving at the case. The public prosecution held that the defendant Yan Haojie intentionally killed people and endangered public safety by means of arson, and his conduct should be investigated for criminal responsibility for intentional homicide and arson, respectively. Yan Haojie had the circumstances of turning himself in, but in order to return gambling debts, he brutally killed his newlywed wife, killed people with a despicable motive, and then set fire to destroy the corpse after killing people. At the end of the trial on the same day, the court said that it would announce the verdict at a later date.
According to a previous report by the surging news, at the time of the crime, Yan Haojie was 26 years old, and his wife Liu Mou was 27 years old, and the two were married for only 3 months.
