The News Express reporter Liu Qian and intern Liu Xiaonan reported that on May 6 this year at around 5 pm, Wei followed the female victim Chen to her home in Jixian Road, Yongping Street, Baiyun District. When they reached her doorstep, he pushed her into her house and demanded money, but was refused. After stabbing Chen in the chest and back several times, Wei fled. Chen was found dead by her boyfriend. Afterwards, Wei escaped to Huadu district, where after a full meal and drinks, he went for a sauna and foot massage. He later attempted suicide with the same knife in the toilet of the sauna room. After being discovered, Wei was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, leading to the case being exposed.
Wei stated that he respected the court's verdict and expressed: "I would rather die for her than let things come to this. I deeply regret harming an innocent person and an innocent family."
At the age of 26, due to his illness, Wei had thought about going to the mountains to commit suicide but lacked the funds to travel there. Thus, he followed the woman, Chen, home intending to rob her. As she did not have any money, Wei stabbed her in the chest multiple times before fleeing to the toilet to attempt suicide. Chen bled to death, while Wei was saved. Yesterday, Wei appeared in court at the Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court and admitted to his crimes.
The 26-year-old Wei failed in his suicide attempt and expressed deep remorse.
Yesterday, in addition to the prosecution's criminal lawsuit against Wei, the parents of the victim, Chen, also filed a civil lawsuit, demanding that Wei compensate them with 548,000 yuan. "If Wei does not pay compensation, we request the court to sentence him to death."
