Suspect that their parents are haunted by ghosts, and their brothers and sisters have tossed them to death... Shanghe Renren Tragedy Sentenced!

Behind the tragedy of human morality, who would have thought that feudal superstition was at work? In a remote village in Shanghe County, a bizarre case of intentional injury occurred: the three brothers and sisters suspected that their parents were "haunted by little ghosts" and actually used methods such as "drinking yellow charms", "smashing beer", and "scratching crosses with glass shards" to "exorcise the little ghosts" for their parents, resulting in their parents being killed alive. Recently, the Jinan Intermediate People's Court held a public hearing on the case according to law, and the three defendants were sentenced to 10 to 14 years in prison.

In the first half of 2017, the 38-year-old son Wang Jia (pseudonym) saw that his mother Yang Mou's spirit was abnormal, so he discussed with his two younger sisters Wang Yi and Wang Bing (both pseudonyms) to "see a doctor", and the three finally discussed that their mother had been haunted by "little ghosts" and should be "exorcised" in time. To this end, they began to find "godmothers" from the people to help rescue and treat. From June 25 to 28 of the same year, the three brothers and sisters came to their parents' homes and, according to the instructions of the so-called "godmother", successively used superstitious methods such as forcing their mother to drink "yellow charms" (yellow paper ash) and avoiding people for three days. However, on the morning of June 29, the condition of the mother Yang Mou did not improve, and the three brothers and sisters used liquor to rub their bodies and other methods to "exorcise ghosts" to their mother. In the meantime, In order to control his mother Yang Mou's resistance, Wang Jia pressed his mouth and nose with his hands, which eventually caused Yang Mou to suffocate and die.

Afterwards, the three brothers and sisters also believed that the "little ghost" was transferred to the father, and the three brothers and sisters of Wang Jia forcefully controlled their father, and successively smashed a large number of bottles of beer next to the father of Wang, forcing him to eat raw peppers, pinching his neck, and using glass shards to cut crosses on his feet and abdomen to "exorcise the ghosts", which eventually led to the death of Wang Father due to external violence induced by heart disease.

During the trial, Zhang Mou (Wang Bing's husband) said that on the afternoon of June 25 of that year, he drove his daughter-in-law to his mother-in-law's house, when his brother and sister were all there, while his mother-in-law, Yang Mou, sat on the bed, talking nonsense for a while, and pinching himself for a while. Everyone saw the situation and caught his mother Yang Mou and did not let him move. Not long after, Yang fell asleep; After a while, Yang wet his pants again. Everyone discussed taking Yang to "see". Afterwards, the three Brothers and Sisters of Wang Jia went to the next village to find a godmother and "opened" some yellow paper charms to come back. On the afternoon of the incident, Wang Bing called himself to his mother's house to pick her up, and when he found his daughter-in-law sitting at the gate, soaking wet, she explained to herself: "You know the two black fish that my brother caught two days ago, it is these two fish that are strange!" These were smashed with beer bottles. ”

After investigation, at 9:00 a.m. on the day of the incident, Wang Jia had purchased 10 bags of beer and 5 lighters from the local wholesale department. At 13:00 on the same day, Wang Jia panicked and came to the neighbor's house, saying that he had "killed all his father and mother" and asked the neighbor to help call the police. Afterwards, the police took away Wang Jia, who was stranded at the scene and stunned; Two hours later, the police arrested Wang Jia's two younger sisters.

The Jinan Intermediate People's Court held that the defendants Wang Jia, Wang Yi, and Wang Bing, because of feudal superstition, used ignorant and tyrannical means to treat the victim's illness, defendant Wang Jia caused the death of two people, defendants Wang Yi and Wang Bing caused the death of one person, and the acts of the three defendants all constituted the crime of intentional injury according to law. The death of the three defendants in the victim's father is a joint crime; In the joint crime, although the seriousness of the acts of the three defendants was different, they cooperated with each other and actively committed the criminal acts, and it was not appropriate to distinguish between the master and the subordinate. In view of the fact that defendant Wang Jia entrusted his neighbor to call the police after the case occurred, he stayed at the scene himself, and truthfully confessed the facts of the crime after returning to the case, constituting voluntary surrender; Defendants Wang Yi and Wang Bing both truthfully confessed the above-mentioned criminal facts after their return to the case, and their attitude of admitting guilt was relatively good, constituting a confession; The case occurred between family members, and the sincere repentance of the three defendants was forgiven by the relatives of the victims, and the three defendants could be given lighter punishments in accordance with law. In summary, the Jinan Intermediate People's Court sentenced Wang Jia to 14 years in prison and Wang Yi and Wang Bing to 10 years each for the crime of intentional injury.
