Xiangtan News - "She's the third party, she destroyed my parents' relationship," 17-year-old Hu Liang (a pseudonym) attributed the root of his family tragedy to his stepmother. On New Year's Eve, seeing others gathering with their families, Hu Liang raised a kitchen knife and slashed at his stepmother's head. After killing her, Hu Liang fled to Changsha and then turned himself in. Yesterday, the Xiangtan County Public Security Bureau informed the media about this case, reminding reconstituted families to pay more attention to their children's mental health.
On the evening of February 2nd, which was New Year's Eve, the Xiangtan County Public Security Bureau received a notification from the Changsha police that a 17-year-old boy from Xiangtan had surrendered himself to the Yuhua District Public Security Bureau of Changsha. The boy claimed he had used a kitchen knife to kill his stepmother at home. Officers from the Xiangtan County Public Security Bureau immediately rushed to the crime scene for investigation. According to the forensic examination, the victim died from fractures of the skull, cerebral contusion, and hemorrhagic shock caused by being struck with a sharp object on her head and body.
The deceased, Ms. He, was the stepmother of the suspect, Hu Liang. Hu Liang always believed that it was Ms. He's involvement that led to the failure of his parents' marriage. The relationship between Hu Liang and Ms. He had never been harmonious. He told the investigating officers that his stepmother was "not kind" to him. Whenever he thought about all the bad things about his stepmother, Hu Liang always harbored a desire to kill her.
On New Year's Eve, Hu Liang's father was busy with work tasks, leaving only Hu Liang and his stepmother, Ms. He, at home. Seeing the outside world lit up with countless lights, hearing occasional firecracker sounds, and watching fireworks light up the sky, Hu Liang thought about how other families were joyfully gathered together while his own home was cold and quiet. The figure moving before his eyes was his stepmother who was "not good" to him. Hu Liang felt hurt, as if there was a lump in his chest that couldn't be released.
Hu Liang quarreled again with his stepmother, rushed into the kitchen, grabbed a kitchen knife, and slashed at Ms. He's head. Blood covered Ms. He's head and body, and she fell to the ground motionless. Hu Liang felt very scared, ran out of the house, and stopped a taxi, planning to escape by long-distance bus from the South Bus Station in Changsha.
Forty minutes later, when the taxi arrived at the South Bus Station in Changsha, Hu Liang had made up his mind: "Anyway, I can't run away." So, Hu Liang walked into the Yuhua Branch of the Changsha Public Security Bureau and surrendered himself.
