Huang, aged 35, is from Baoji City in Shaanxi Province. He had previously been legally punished for illegal detention and opium consumption. According to the prosecution's charges, on the evening of November 24, 2009, Huang engaged in an intimate act with Xiao Hong (a pseudonym) at her leased apartment in Cube Court in the West Zone of Zhongguancun in Haidian District. After tying up Xiao Hong, he fled the scene. Xiao Hong died due to positional asphyxiation after being unable to free herself from the bindings for a prolonged period.
Xiao Hong's cause of death was unusual—positional asphyxiation death. Upon autopsy, the forensic doctor found many clotted blood blocks in Xiao Hong's heart cavity. The forensic doctor determined through analysis that Xiao Hong's death was a very slow process. Her hands and feet were tied together post-mortem, and her body was in a hyperextended position. If this position was maintained for a long time, it could lead to asphyxiation death.
On January 6 of last year, after his arrest, Huang claimed that he had searched "SM" on Baidu and logged onto a Beijing "SM" website, where he contacted Xiao Hong under the online name "Original Silk Foot Queen." Following Xiao Hong's instructions, he found the Cube Court apartment. "As soon as I entered the room, I saw a row of SM role-playing costumes on a clothes rack by the window, and there were also many stockings on the box in the middle," Huang said. He first selected 20 pairs of stockings worth 2000 yuan and some lingerie, intending to purchase them. Then they began discussing service prices. After listening to Xiao Hong's introduction of various service items and their prices, Huang chose the "foot fetish" and "scenario acting" projects, agreeing on 800 yuan for 120 minutes.
Subsequently, because Xiao Hong mentioned that the time exceeded the agreed-upon 2 hours, she asked him to add 400 yuan. He refused, and Xiao Hong then provided subpar service, prompting Huang to tie her up inside the room and leave. On December 30, 2009, at noon, Xiao Hong's body was discovered by a real estate intermediary employee, which was over a month since she had been bound.
The court ruled that when Huang entered the Cube Court apartment, he was fully aware of its strict access control system. His act of binding Xiao Hong and leaving her in the room prevented her from receiving timely help from others, leading to her death. Therefore, he was convicted of intentional homicide and sentenced to life imprisonment.
