Zhang Yan and Zhang Li were once very close sisters. However, younger sister Zhang Li engaged in an adulterous relationship with her brother-in-law and bore him an illegitimate child. She then forcibly demanded that her sister divorce and give up her place. In order to defend her own marriage, elder sister Zhang Yan cruelly killed her sister who was forcing her out and the newborn baby... Recently, Zhang Yan received a verdict from the Ziyang Intermediate People's Court sentencing her to death, suspended for two years.
Younger Sister Engages in Adultery with Brother-in-Law
After marrying Chen Yong, Zhang Yan had a son and a daughter; their daughter studies at a university in Luzhou, while their son attends junior high school locally. Chen is involved in the herbal medicine trade, while Zhang manages the household and does some farm work. Their semi-agricultural, semi-commercial family of four lives a prosperous and happy life. In early 2003, due to her poor family circumstances, younger sister Zhang Li approached Zhang Yan, imploring her to let her brother-in-law take her out to learn the herbal medicine business. Seeing that her sister’s post-marriage life was never quite satisfactory, Zhang Yan readily agreed to her sister’s request.
