What is the truth
An Asian mother was cut apart by her son's hand, her head was cut off, put in a garbage bag, and dumped on the side of the road!
Today (30th), this case was reported by the English media, which once again attracted social attention. On Monday, the murderer's son sat in courtroom and was charged with second-degree murder, and the case finally ushered in the latest development.
On March 28, 2022, a Toronto woman was out shopping at the Freshco supermarket when she saw a shopping cart and several garbage bags that had fallen to the ground.
But just as the citizen was passing by again after shopping for groceries, she noticed that the shopping cart was missing, and the garbage bags were still scattered in place, and one of the garbage bags had a loose opening.
She casually glanced at it, and saw someone's stump inside!
This person was frightened on the spot, didn't dare to stay longer, and rushed home directly. Although she only caught a glimpse of it, she could clearly see the human legs, which should be from mid-thigh to mid-calf.
At 1:31 p.m., she called 911 to call the police.
The body was collected by police when they arrived, and the head was placed in another garbage bag and thrown not far away.
On the same day, Thanh Tien Ly, the Asian female owner of a nail salon in Toronto, did not come to work, and the employee felt that something was wrong, but did not say anything at the time, but the next day there was still no one, so she called the boss's sister to inquire about the situation.
On March 29, Tien's sister officially called the police, saying that her sister was missing and begged the police to help find someone.
Around the early hours of March 30, police found Tien's apartment and checked on her safety.
Unexpectedly, a bloody and terrifying case of mother-killing was about to unfold in front of his eyes. The policeman revealed that he knocked on the door first, but no one answered, and when he twisted the handle, he found that the door was unlocked, so he entered the apartment and was greeted by obvious traces of bloodstains.
Years of experience told him that this matter may not be easy, and the police immediately called forensic experts, who found at the scene, in addition to the blood stains that had been spilled and cleaned, they also found a black jacket with cut marks and blood stains in the garbage bag.
In addition, they found a black backpack at the scene, which contained a large knife for hunting, a pair of work gloves with cut marks on the left finger, and a hammer, all stained with blood.
After comparing the DNA, the police found that the bloodstains in the apartment appeared to match the body found earlier, and the investigation was officially launched.
Inside the glove, the examiners found the DNA of another man, Tien's son, Dallas.
As a result, the police narrowed down the suspects and began to investigate the background of Dallas.
Tien runs a nail salon in Toronto, where his son Dallas also helps out, taking care of guests and checking out.
However, according to Dallas himself and friends, the relationship between the mother and son was not harmonious, and could even be called bad.
The son said that he had been mentally and physically abused by his mother for many years, and a friend even said that he had an appointment with Dallas for dinner on March 26, and halfway through the meal, Dallas knew that he had to go to work the next day, and suddenly felt depressed.
Prosecutors said that by the end of the day on March 27, the Tien man should still be alive after returning home from work that night, and was hacked to death by his son after arriving home at 8 o'clock, with 27 slashes all over his body, large and small, and the cause of death was multiple stab wounds to the neck and chest.
Subsequently, the police launched a manhunt operation.
A man who works at a Hamilton area shelter said he had met Dallas two days ago, claiming to be a refugee from China, using the pseudonym Yune Yi, and saying that he had arrived five days earlier and that his ID card had been confiscated at the airport.
Following this line, the police soon found Dallas and formally arrested him on April 2.
No one knows exactly what happened in between, because Tien is dead, and the jury and the judge can only figure out as much as they can with the autopsy results, evidence from the scene, and Dallas's statement.
On Monday, Dallas sat quietly in the courtroom, listening to the case statement and pleading guilty to killing himself, but refusing to plead guilty.
Marco Sciarra, a lawyer defending Dallas, said that he would not normally provide an opening statement, but this time the incident happened two years ago, and he hoped that the jury would know the case in advance.
According to documents provided by defense lawyers, Dallas alleges that his mother has "tormented him physically, mentally, emotionally throughout his life."
As a child who grew up living in domestic violence, Dallas's mother told him not to show his wounds to outsiders because it was shameful, it was "proof that he was a bad boy", and there were traces of him being beaten without asking for help.
Dallas said that his mother had told him that he was just a "homeless man sleeping on the street" who would only disgrace her, and that his mother's behavior would change when his grandmother was present.
His mother told Dallas that his father was dead, but he only found out he was alive after he was captured.
On the day of the incident, Dallas decided to leave his mother, which angered the other party, and the two began to quarrel violently, shouting things like "I'm going to kill you" and "If you die, I won't go to worship."
At this time, the anger that Dallas had buried in his heart for many years made him "red-eyed" and hacked his mother to death.
Dallas entered a "period of denial" after the killing, trying to escape reality, but eventually recognized the facts and then fell into a panic, the lawyer said.
He tried to clean up the scene and escape, but soon realized that he didn't have the courage to do either of those things, so he returned to Toronto and faced the consequences. ”
The lawyer also hired a forensic psychiatrist to testify that Dallas was a victim of domestic violence with symptoms of PTSD.
Of course, these are all Dallas's unilateral statements and defense lawyers' court testimony, people cannot be resurrected from death, let alone speak, what the truth is, I am afraid it is difficult to restore, and the judge and jury need to make a final verdict after several rounds of hearings.
If, as Dallas claimed, he didn't have the courage to deal with the scene and escape, then where did the cleaned blood in the apartment come from? It didn't take courage for the body to be put in a garbage bag and discarded? Why did he run away and try to sneak into the shelter under a false name?
These are the details that both sides need to clarify next, and Dallas is currently charged with second-degree murder.
