Gao, who is in her 50s, would never have thought that she would fall to her own son's hands. On the morning of December 5th, a murder case occurred on Wenchang Street in Fengyang County (in Anhui Province). The police who quickly arrived at the scene found a middle-aged woman lying in a pool of blood. Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspected murderer was actually the woman's own son. The police captured the bloodstained suspect just a hundred meters or so away from the crime scene. In response to rumors that the suspect suffered from mental illness, the Fengyang police are currently conducting further investigations and confirmations.
Event:
Middle-Aged Woman Dies on the Streets of the County Town
Eyewitnesses identified that the incident happened on the sidewalk north of the entrance to a bank on Wenchang Street in Fengyang County. "It was just before 7:00 AM when I saw a man arguing with a middle-aged woman." Many shops around were just about to open, and the quarrel between this man and woman caught others' attention. "There was some pulling and tugging first, and then they started fighting very quickly."
In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged woman was knocked down by the man. The commotion grew louder, and the surrounding crowd couldn't bear to watch anymore. At that time, many people stepped forward to try to mediate, "But the man was too aggressive, cursing anyone who came near!" Just as someone called the police, the woman who had fallen on the ground was already covered in blood and unconscious. Less than five minutes after the alarm was raised, Police Officer Zhu Xuefei and several other officers arrived at the scene in a police car: "She was already gone." Zhu Xuefei explained that they immediately called the 120 emergency medical services. By this time, the suspected male perpetrator had already left the scene.
Arrest:
The Suspect Turns Out to Be the Victim’s Own Son
According to the police's speculation, the incident had just occurred, so the suspect should not have gone far. According to eyewitness accounts, the suspected male was around 20 years old, tall, wearing a red and black jacket. "He fled north along Wenchang Street." The police immediately drove to search for the suspect. "Within less than 150 meters from the crime scene, the target was spotted. The officers moved in to subdue him." He was approximately 1.78 meters tall and appeared normal. However, during subsequent exchanges, this seemingly normal man surprised the police. "After admitting to the killing, he then said, 'She (the woman) is a snake demon.'"
Subsequently, the police confirmed the identity of the deceased. "The deceased surnamed Gao, in her 50s, was a resident of Hongxin Town in Fengyang County." Meanwhile, the suspect's identity was also confirmed shortly afterward. "The man claimed to be surnamed Zhu, 23 years old." More heart-wrenchingly, the suspect Zhu turned out to be the biological son of the victim Gao!
Progress:
The Suspect Will Undergo Psychiatric Evaluation
During the investigation of the case, it was frequently mentioned that the suspect suffered from mental illness. During an interview yesterday afternoon, it was learned that just a few minutes before the incident, the mother and son were eating breakfast at a breakfast stall next to the incident location. "They were eating well when the man suddenly picked up his empty porcelain bowl and smashed it hard on the ground before running out."
The shop owner said that subsequently, mother Gao immediately apologized and compensated them. During this time, Gao vaguely mentioned that her son had a disease. Investigations revealed that among the deceased's belongings, there was also a similar psychiatric medical record found. Later that afternoon, the deceased's relatives also arrived at the police station. They explained that that morning, the mother and son were planning to go to the hospital to see about Zhu's condition. Currently, the Fengyang police have sent the suspect Zhu to a provincial hospital for psychiatric evaluation.
