During his detention, he also participated in beating others.
News review: At noon on March 30, 2009, a second-year junior high school girl named Xiaoyun (a pseudonym) disappeared on her way to school in Quanyang Town, Fushun County. On April 5, 2009, Xiaoyun's family received a call from a stranger demanding 20,000 yuan in cash. On April 7, 2009, Yu Xiaopeng, suspected of extortion, rape, murder, and dismemberment, was arrested by the police.
Report by our staff reporter Shi Zhou: Recently, the Intermediate People's Court of Baishan City sentenced Yu Xiaopeng to death for the crimes of kidnapping, rape, and intentional injury, depriving him of political rights for life.
Yu Xiaopeng, 28 years old this year, is from Fushun County, has an elementary school education, and is unemployed.
It is understood that Yu Xiaopeng's wife Zhang Mou is 20 years old this year and also unemployed. They have a 4-year-old son. According to Yu Xiaopeng's confession, because he had no source of income and needed to pay his child's tuition fees, he was always worried about money. He saw every day the second-year junior high school girl Xiaoyun (under 14 years old at the time of the incident) walking past his house on her way to school, so he conceived the idea of kidnapping for ransom.
According to Yu Xiaopeng's confession, at around 12 o'clock on March 30, 2009, he saw Xiaoyun walking alone, so he lured her to his old house located west of the railway line between Quanyang Town and Lushuihe Town by telling her to help him carry something. He bound Xiaoyun's hands and feet with telephone wire and taped her mouth shut before leaving.
At around 6 PM on the same day, Yu Xiaopeng returned to the old house, raped Xiaoyun, then continued to bind her hands and feet and tape her mouth shut.
To avoid exposure, he decided to kill her and dismember her body
At around 10 AM on March 31, Yu Xiaopeng learned that Xiaoyun's family was looking for her everywhere. Afraid of being exposed, he went back to the old house that night to check on Xiaoyun's condition and decided to kill her. Yu Xiaopeng wrapped Xiaoyun's mouth up to her eyes with tape and covered her head with a quilt.
At around 6 AM on April 1, Yu Xiaopeng arrived at the old house and found Xiaoyun dead. He then took off her clothes and threw them between the two tracks of the railway line between Quanyang Town and Lushuihe Town. At around 7 PM that day, Yu Xiaopeng returned to the old house to dismember her body, putting it into three woven bags. He first threw part of the body parts west of the old house.
Kidnapping succeeded in extorting 10,000 yuan
That night when he returned home, Yu Xiaopeng decided to steal his landlord's mobile phone to call Xiaoyun's family and ask for money. At around 7 AM on April 2, Yu Xiaopeng used pliers to pry open the lock of his landlord's house and stole a mobile phone from the bed and the desk drawer. Then he rented a tricycle motorcycle, went back to the old house, loaded two woven bags containing the body parts, and came to the intersection of the main peak of Quanyang, throwing the two woven bags into the forest.
At around 9 AM that day, after returning home, Yu Xiaopeng went to his mother's house with his wife and child. On the way, passing by the railway track, he saw Xiaoyun's down jacket. After sending his wife to his mother's house, he returned alone, placed the down jacket in a ditch with cement cover plates by the railway track, and then returned to his mother's house.
At around 8 AM on April 5, Yu Xiaopeng put the stolen SIM card into his own mobile phone and called Xiaoyun's mother, asking for 20,000 yuan. At around 1:30 PM that day, Yu Xiaopeng called again to ask if they had enough money. The other side told him they had 10,000 yuan. Yu Xiaopeng asked them to place the 10,000 yuan at a designated place on the railway line going westward. Xiaoyun's mother wanted to hear her daughter's voice and said she would give Yu Xiaopeng more money. Yu Xiaopeng deceived her by saying there were four of them, each getting 5000 yuan, taking the money and leaving, and that Xiaoyun was not currently with him.
Xiaoyun's mother did not believe him, so Yu Xiaopeng said they would walk along the railway towards the west peak and let her see Xiaoyun's clothes. At around 3 PM that day, Yu Xiaopeng called the other side, and they said they would soon go to see Xiaoyun's clothes.
At around 6 PM that day, Yu Xiaopeng went to the agreed-upon location for the money and saw a rolled-up white woven bag under the cement slab, which contained a stack of money. He hid the money in nearby grass and then returned home. At around 7 PM, he went to the hiding place, took out the money, and after counting, found that Xiaoyun's parents had paid all hundred-yuan bills, totaling exactly 10,000 yuan.
On the morning of April 6, Yu Xiaopeng deposited 5000 yuan in the name of his mother in the postal savings office, paid 1700 yuan for his child's tuition, lost 300 yuan playing video games, gave 200 yuan to his mother, kept 100 yuan for himself, and handed over the rest to his wife. The stolen SIM card was discarded after use.
Participated in beating others during detention
At around 7:30 AM on August 24, Ma Huanyou, a detainee at the Fushun County Detention Center, was transferred from cell No. 5 to cell No. 7 where Yu Xiaopeng was held. Because Ma Huanyou kept shouting, four detainees in the cell including Ji Chunshan, Yu Hai, Zhao Fuxian (all handled separately), and Yu Xiaopeng beat him. During the beating by Ji Chunshan, Yu Xiaopeng used transparent tape to seal Ma Huanyou's mouth and slapped him several times at noon.
At around 3 AM on August 25, Ma Huanyou was sent to the hospital and later died after unsuccessful resuscitation attempts. A forensic medical examination determined that Ma Huanyou died of traumatic shock caused by large-scale mechanical injuries in multiple areas. After interrogation, Yu Xiaopeng confessed to the fact of beating Ma Huanyou.
The court sentenced to death with civil compensation attached
On January 22 this year, the Intermediate People's Court of Baishan City held a closed-door trial for this case (due to personal privacy involved). On January 28, the court sentenced Yu Xiaopeng to death for the crime of kidnapping, depriving him of political rights for life, and confiscating all his personal property; eight years' imprisonment for the crime of rape; three years' imprisonment for the crime of intentional injury, deciding to execute the death penalty, depriving him of political rights for life, and confiscating all his personal property; Yu Xiaopeng compensated various economic losses totaling more than 260,000 yuan to the plaintiff in the attached civil lawsuit.
