Afterwards, the two had an argument. Wang Handong claimed that when his wife was nagging beside him he had cursed, so his wife emotionally said "then why don't you just beat me to death". Still lying in bed, upon hearing this, he stood up and grabbed a knife and slashed towards her.
Wang Handong claimed that he vaguely heard his wife say that her company was organizing a two-day trip to the suburbs of Miyun, but before the trip they had to work three days in a row and after coming back from the trip they had to work one more day. He hazily thought that according to his wife's company rules, "inside and outside they have to work one extra day", so he told his wife "you count it yourself".
Case materials showed that three years ago, Wang Handong married Ms Dong, with Wang being 12 years older than his wife. According to his account, their relationship was always good after marriage. His wife worked busily, yet he often helped cook, and together they took care of their sick mother.
Wang Handong claimed that he originally did not intend to kill his wife, and when he saw the blood gushing from Ms Dong's neck, he immediately called 110 and 120. The autopsy report indicated that Ms Dong died from acute hemorrhagic shock due to injuries to the common carotid artery.
According to reports (reporter Zhang Yuan), the couple who had been married for three years and cared for their paralyzed mother together, had a quarrel because the wife insisted on participating in a suburban tour organized by her unit. In anger, the husband wielded a knife and killed his wife. Recently, the First Intermediate People’s Court sentenced the 50-year-old man Wang Handong to 10 years in prison for intentional injury.
But last August 23rd, due to the wife insisting on going on the trip, Wang Handong wielded a knife and killed his wife.
The verdict of the First Intermediate People’s Court showed that around 22:00 that evening, the 110 emergency center received a call reporting someone had been slashed. Upon arriving at Wang Handong's home, they found Ms Dong covered in blood, and then took Wang Handong, who was drunk, away for investigation.
The First Intermediate People’s Court believed in its first-instance trial that Wang Handong's behavior constituted intentional injury, and sentenced him to 10 years in prison based on the circumstances involved in the case.
According to Wang Handong's confession, at around 8 PM on the night of the incident, his wife came home from work, and after dinner she helped their paralyzed mother change her diaper, then entered the room to prepare for sleep.
