Yulin News (Reporters Qiao Xiaobing and Wang Yiwei) - Yesterday morning, Jiang Wei Na, Zhang Jie, and Wang Mou (female), originally from Qingjian County in Shaanxi Province, were prosecuted by the Yulin People's Procuratorate for kidnapping. On the same day, after a public trial at the Qingjian County Court by the Intermediate People's Court of Yulin, the main culprits, Jiang Wei Na and Zhang Jie, were sentenced to death for kidnapping, with their political rights permanently revoked. Wang Mou, being a minor, was sentenced to life imprisonment for kidnapping by the court, with her political rights also permanently revoked.
The court determined during the trial: In September 2010, while working in Nalin Tao Hai Town, Yijin Hol Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the defendants Jiang Wei Na, Zhang Jie, and Wang Mou conspired to kidnap someone, kill them, and then extort money. During this period, Wang Mou suggested kidnapping her friend Cao Mou (female, 21 years old), and then extorting money from her family. On the afternoon of November 18, 2010, the three defendants lured Cao Mou to Qingjian County under the pretext of meeting her boyfriend at Jin Tai Grand Hotel in Nalin Tao Hai Town, Yijin Hol Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The next day, the defendants Jiang Wei Na, Wang Mou, and Zhang Jie drove the victim Cao Mou to a place near Bijiashan Mountain in Qingjian County, where they bought two cases of beer and forcibly got Cao Mou drunk. While she was unconscious, the three defendants bought shovels and drugs that could make people unconscious within the city of Qingjian County. They then dragged Cao Mou to Lamas Mountain Top in Baijia Mao Village, Zhejiapeng Town, Qingjian County. Afterwards, Jiang Wei Na and Zhang Jie dug a pit on the mountain top and used pre-prepared tape to bind Cao Mou's hands. After forcing her to reveal the password for her Agricultural Bank card, they sealed her mouth and nose, throwing her into the pit to be buried alive. During this time, the victim Cao Mou struggled twice to escape from the pit, but was kicked back into it by Jiang and Zhang, who then proceeded to bury her. That night, the three fled to Suide County by car, discarding the shovels used in the crime along the way. They also stole 1040 yuan in cash from Cao Mou's bag. The next day, Zhang Jie returned to Qingjian County. On November 21, the defendants Jiang Wei Na and Wang Mou used Cao Mou's mobile phone to inform her family of her bank account number and sent multiple threatening text messages and made threatening calls to Cao Mou's close relatives, demanding 100,000 yuan RMB. They also sent a text message to Cao Mou's friend Xu Mou borrowing 1000 yuan under her name. From November 21 to November 30, Jiang Wei Na and Wang Mou used an ATM to withdraw 5000 yuan from the victim's bank card, which had been deposited by her relatives and friends. On December 2, when Jiang Wei Na and Wang Mou attempted to withdraw money again, they were caught on the spot.
Based on this, the presiding judge announced in the verdict that the defendants Jiang Wei Na, Zhang Jie, and Wang Mou kidnapped someone for the purpose of extortion and buried them alive, using extremely cruel means with particularly severe consequences and great social harm. To combat crime and protect citizens' personal and property rights, the court legally and strictly sentenced the three defendants as mentioned above.
