Jimu news reporter Xie Mao reported from Fuzhou, Fujian Province
On the morning of August 26, 2021, the Intermediate People's Court of Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, publicly pronounced a verdict in the first instance on defendant Wu Xieyu's intentional homicide, fraud, and purchase and sale of identity documents in accordance with law. Defendant Wu Xieyu was convicted of intentional homicide, fraud, and the crime of buying and selling identity documents, and was punished for several crimes, and decided to carry out the death penalty, deprive him of his political rights for life, and impose a fine of RMB 13,000.
On July 10, 2015, Wu Xieyu killed his mother Xie Tianqin in the home of Unit 102, Unit 5, Dormitory, No. 172 Guishan Road, Guishan Road, Jin'an District, Fuzhou City.
During this period, Wu Xieyu borrowed money in the name of his mother and borrowed money from relatives and friends in the name of studying abroad, amounting to 1.44 million. After killing his mother, Wu Xieyu fled to Fuzhou, Henan, Shanghai, Chongqing and other places. On April 21, 2019, when Wu Xieyu was delivered at Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport, he was captured by the surveillance equipment four times, each time compared with the photos on the wanted order with no less than 98%, and then arrested by the airport public security police.
On December 24, 2020, the Fuzhou Intermediate People's Court held a public trial of the defendant Wu Xieyu's intentional homicide, fraud, and purchase and sale of identity documents in the first instance, but did not pronounce the verdict in court. Eight months later, the case was reopened and Wu Xieyu was sentenced to death.
matricide
According to the Fuzhou Intermediate People's Court's release on December 24, 2020, in the first half of 2015, defendant Wu Xieyu had the idea of killing his mother Xie Tianqin (the victim, aged 48), and after purchasing knives and other crime tools online, he killed Xie Tianqin at home on July 10.
It was an elaborately prepared attack, and Wu Xieyu began planning to kill his mother in April 2015, like a mathematical model, with precise calculations at every step.
Xie Tianqin is the history teacher of the second middle school, on July 10, 2015, she ended the graduation ceremony of the students, returned home to meet her not the embrace of the only child, but a long-planned blow, Xie Tianqin entered the door and bent down to change slippers, Wu Xieyu smashed the back of her head with a dumbbell.
Wu Xieyu said to himself at the first trial that the date was carefully chosen by him, because July 10 was the opposite of his birthday, October 7.
Killing her mother, in Wu Xieyu's view, "is to help her get rid of it." In 2010, Wu Xieyu's father died of cancer, and since then, he has always believed that "if his father is not there, he has no home." In 2014, when Wu Xieyu was in college, he diagnosed an uneven heart rate, and he thought he would also go with his father. And when he died, there was no one to take care of his mother Xie Tianqin, plus Xie Tianqin was ill at that time, and Wu Xieyu thought that his mother was like Lin Daiyu, who was about to die. So an even more terrible thought arose, "It's better to die with my mother so that I can be with my father." ”
The Fuzhou Municipal Procuratorate alleged that after Wu Xieyu confirmed Xie Tianqin's death, he used clothing, bedding, plastic film and other items to cover Xie Tianqin's body, and put activated charcoal between the covered items. After committing the crime, Wu Xieyu cleaned up the traces of the scene and installed monitoring probes and alarms in many places in the house.
desertion
After calmly disposing of his mother's body, Wu Xieyu began to borrow money in the name of his mother Xie Tianqin, and borrowed a total of 1.44 million yuan from relatives and friends on the grounds that he needed money to study abroad, which was basically used to squander it. In August 2015, he imitated his mother's handwriting and forged a resignation letter to help Xie Tianqin resign from the Second Middle School.
Since then, Wu Xieyu has traveled to Fujian, Shanghai, Henan and other places, and the surveillance screenshot of withdrawing money at the ATM machine is the footage taken when he withdrew money in Henan on February 4, 2016.
On February 5, Wu Xieyu sent a text message to his uncle saying that he and his mother were going to return to China for the New Year and asked him to go to the train station to pick them up, but Wu Xieyu's uncle waited for a day but did not see anyone, so he reported the case.
On February 14, 2016, Fuzhou police found Xie Tianqin killed in her home. And on March 3, a reward notice was issued, saying that Wu Xieyu, male, born on October 7, 1994, a student of a university in Beijing, about 1.80 meters tall, thin in stature, often wearing glasses, born in Xianyou County, Fujian Province, the address is in the dormitory where the case occurred, and the household registration address is No. 5, Summer Palace Road, Haidian District, Beijing. Subsequently, the Henan police also offered a reward of 50,000 yuan to collect clues, and the ATM withdrawal monitoring has been accompanied by the bounty notice.
Until April 21, 2019, Wu Xieyu was caught by the police four times when he was escorting a friend to board a plane at Chongqing Jiangbei Airport.
During the 1380 days that Wu Xieyu fled, he spent most of his time working and living in Chongqing, where he worked as a teacher during the day and a male model in a bar at night. During his escape, he also had two more "hobbies" - prostitution and buying lottery tickets, and spent hundreds of thousands of yuan on them. According to a bar staff member who worked with Wu Xieyu, wu Xieyu was paid four thousand yuan per month when he worked as a waiter in the bar under the pseudonym Zhang Weijin.
At another bar, Wu Xieyu assumed the pseudonym Zhou Long and became a male model sitting on the stage, calling himself "Xiaolong". His colleagues said that Wu Xieyu had a good amount of alcohol, did not smoke, had a mild temper, and was always a smiling face. Usually always study philosophy and education, and often fitness, with six-pack abs.
Why did Wu Xieyu send a "self-disclosure" text message to his uncle during his escape? He Sockspi, a doctor of anthropology and a researcher in the field of urban crime, said in an interview with the media, "I look at the details and think that this is a kind of revenge and foolishness. They must have been very frightened when they saw the corpse, and they realized that they had been deceived, and the Spring Festival of these families was ruined. Watching them panic and realize in surveillance video may be the climax of this revenge plan.
death penalty
On December 24, 2020, the Fuzhou Intermediate People's Court held a public hearing in the second court of the fuzhou municipality to hear the defendant Wu Xieyu's intentional homicide, fraud, and purchase and sale of identity cards, but did not pronounce the verdict in court.
According to the participants in the hearing, when Wu Xieyu talked about his criminal motives during the trial, he quoted the scriptures and clear logic, and he was familiar with the details of many novels, film and television dramas, and spoke for almost no pause for 20 minutes. When talking about killing his mother, he trembled and wept bitterly, and repeatedly mentioned in the trial that he had wanted to commit suicide. Wu Xieyu said that he and his mother did not have a conflict, but always felt that his mother was one of the best people in the world, "there is no better way, if I find a way I will not be like this, at that time I thought this method was the greatest."
In court, the judge asked Wu Xieyu about the sentencing. Wu Xieyu said, you can sentence me severely, but I still have labor and can still do some work. In addition, I am still writing a material, I want to write out these things, when the time comes, to the court, to the society, I hope to give you some warnings.
Ms. Guan (pseudonym), a retired teacher of the Second Middle School who lives in a building adjacent to Xie Tianqin, scoffed at Wu Xieyu's performance in the trial, "His high IQ was used in the wrong place" Ms. Guan said that Wu Xieyu was indeed a genius teenager who could guarantee Peking University, and this trial was sentenced to death, but she did not have a little regret, Xie Tianqin was not killed by mistake, but carefully planned to kill, and fled for many years, "He should not stay, the criminal method he wrote should not stay, nothing more than want to live for a while, all are excuses, I can't imagine how crazy a man would be to kill his own mother. ”
