Our office news (reported by Dai Jun, with Liu Wei) When his wife had an affair outside, he went to the rival's house to catch him in the act. He temporarily "upgraded" his plan fromå·chicken revenge to killing revenge, directing the cleaver towards the father of his rival and disguising the scene to make it look like a theft in order to divert the police's attention. However, a key gave him away. Recently, the Yongchuan police found clues from this key and solved this murder case.
Chicken thief kills?
In early August, farmer Liu from the Dachunpo villagers group in Wujia Slope Village, Baofeng Town, discovered that his 81-year-old father had been killed in bed with his hands tied behind his back. The 81-year-old elder had no grudges with anyone, so why was he cruelly murdered?
After receiving the report, the police gathered some useful information for solving the case: first, all the windows and doors of Old Liu's house were intact without any signs of forced entry; second, the crime scene was the first site of the incident, and the body had not been moved; third, the deceased's face was peaceful, and there were no obvious signs of struggle in the house; fourth, all the chickens that Old Liu fed in the yard were gone.
Could it be a chicken thief who killed?
A key gives it away
Continuous visits and investigations revealed a crucial clue for solving the case. Some people informed the police officers: Old Liu's younger son had an affair with a married woman, and the cuckolded man was Kang from Mosin Bridge, Lai Su Town, who had harbored hatred ever since.
Further examination and study of the crime scene led the police to find a key that did not belong to the Liu family, as well as a clear footprint left by a suspect. Kang's key matched exactly with the key found at the scene.
Kang, who came into the police's focus, soon confessed the truth: On that evening, he had two plans. One was to go to his rival's house to catch him in the act, and the other was to steal chickens from his rival's house to sell. When passing through the bedroom of the 81-year-old Mr Liu, Kang dimmed the flashlight and lit it briefly to check how many pairs of shoes were by the bed. This action caught Mr Liu's attention, "Who is it?" Mr Liu shouted.
When Kang realized he had been discovered by the old man, fearing being caught, he lost his mind and decided to kill. Currently, Kang has been criminally detained.
