On the morning of January 31, according to the Fuzhou Intermediate People's Court, on January 31, 2024, the Fuzhou Intermediate People's Court carried out the death penalty on Wu Xie Yu in accordance with the execution order issued by the Supreme People's Court.
The top news reporter noticed that the criminal ruling of the Supreme People's Court showed that the court reviewed and confirmed the facts of Wu Xieyu's intentional homicide, fraud, and buying and selling ID cards, and rejected the two defense opinions put forward by the defense lawyer.
At about 17 o'clock on July 10, 2015, Wu Xie Yu took advantage of his mother Xie Moumou to go home to change shoes, and continuously slammed Xie Moumou's head and face with a dumbbell bar, causing Xie Moumou's death. Later, Wu Xie Yu concealed the truth that Xie Moumou had been killed by him from his relatives and friends, fabricated that Xie Moumou accompanied him to go abroad for exchange and study, and defrauded relatives and friends of 1.44 million yuan to squander it on the grounds that he needed living expenses, tuition fees, and financial proofs. In order to evade detection, Wu Xie Yu purchased more than 10 identity documents to conceal his identity.
Top News previously reported that Wu Xieyu's defense lawyer Zheng Xiaojing's legal opinion on not approving the death penalty mainly has several aspects. The first is that Wu Xie Yu was mentally ill at the time of the case; the second is that his mother's negative emotions have a great impact on Wu Xieyu; The third is that Wu Xie Yu is mentally abnormal and has tried to commit suicide many times; Fourth, three groups of experts unanimously believe that Wu Xie Yu had a major depressive episode that led to "extended suicide".
However, previously, the Fujian High Court held that there were no facts and evidence to prove that a forensic psychiatric evaluation should be conducted on his mental state at the time of the crime.
According to the criminal ruling of the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Court confirmed after review that Wu Xie Yu had the facts of intentional homicide, fraud, and buying and selling ID cards.
The Supreme People's Court held that Wu Xieyu's deliberate killing of his mother seriously violated human ethics, seriously trampled on the public's cognition and emotion, and caused an extremely bad social impact. Wu Xie Yu continued to commit intentional homicide, fraud, and buying and selling identity documents, with deep subjective malice and no sincerity in repentance.
At the same time, the Supreme People's Court stated that it agreed with the defense lawyer's opinion that Wu Xie Yu was mentally ill at the time of the crime, did not have full capacity for criminal responsibility, behaved well during detention, and requested a lighter punishment. The defense lawyer's opinion that the victim was at fault for triggering the case cannot be sustained upon investigation, and this court does not accept it.
According to the Fuzhou Intermediate People's Court, before the execution, the Fuzhou Intermediate People's Court informed Wu Xie Yu that he could apply to meet with his relatives, but Wu Xie Yu did not apply.
