Our staff reporter Sun Siya - A former employee of Foxconn Precision Components (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Foxconn"), Chen Yiming, who was unwilling to break up with his first love from the same factory, stabbed her more than 10 times inside the Foxconn factory, leading to her death. Yesterday morning, the No. 1 Intermediate People's Court of the city sentenced Chen Yiming to death with a two-year reprieve for intentional homicide and ordered him to compensate the victim's family with over 490,000 yuan.
Chen Yiming, aged 25, comes from a single-parent family. He said that after his parents' divorce, his life fell into loneliness and solitude. "No one cared about me," said Chen Yiming.
On April 28, 2010, while working in warehouse logistics at Foxconn, Chen Yiming met Wang Xinyue (a pseudonym), an 18-year-old colleague. They subsequently fell in love. Chen Yiming said that since then, his life became "happy and joyful." Wang Xinyue was his first love, and he put extra effort into this relationship.
However, they often quarreled over trivial matters. In September 2010, Wang Xinyue proposed a breakup. To win back his lover, Chen Yiming once self-harmed, which led to his being persuaded to leave the company. Afterward, Wang Xinyue again proposed breaking up, and despite all of Chen Yiming's efforts, he could not salvage their relationship.
In early 2011, Chen Yiming learned from Wang Xinyue's mother that she had become engaged. Feeling utterly disheartened, on January 10, 2011, he climbed over the wall with a knife into the Foxconn plant. In front of many people, Chen Yiming grabbed Wang Xinyue by the neck and stabbed her abdomen three times. After Wang fell to the ground, he repeatedly stabbed her back and slashed her neck multiple times. Eventually, Wang Xinyue died due to ineffective rescue.
Because Chen Yiming used excessive force during the attack, his palm was also cut. After fleeing, he went to the hospital for treatment and called 110 to report the crime. The police found the weapon used by Chen Yiming, and the tip of the knife was deformed due to excessive force.
Yesterday morning, the No. 1 Intermediate People's Court of the city heard this case. The court believed that Chen Yiming repeatedly harassed Wang Xinyue because he was unwilling to break up with her, and after being rejected, he used a pre-prepared sharp knife to stab the victim in vital parts of her body, constituting intentional homicide. Considering that Chen Yiming voluntarily called the "110" emergency number after committing the crime and waited for the police at the hospital, it was considered a voluntary surrender. Therefore, he received a lighter punishment: death sentence with a two-year reprieve, and compensation of over 490,000 yuan to the deceased's family.
