Beijing time, August 6: A 19-year-old female college student was brutally murdered by her cousin, and what is puzzling is that the murderer was under residential surveillance when he committed the crime, and the murderer's reason for being placed under residential surveillance was "attempted rape". February 24, 2024 happens to be the Lantern Festival, and the 19-year-old freshman girl Chen Ting (pseudonym) is about to finish her first winter vacation in college.
On the day of the crime, the murderer Chen came to Chen Ting's house with a murder weapon, and then Chen tried to violate Chen Ting, and seeing that Chen Ting resisted fiercely, Chen killed Chen Ting with a knife prepared in advance. After the incident, Chen cut off some tissue from Chen Ting's arms and thighs, and his purpose was to eat the meat. Chen Ting's parents collapsed instantly after returning home that afternoon, they never thought that their daughter would die tragically at home, and then Chen Ting's parents called the police. Through the surveillance, the police quickly locked up Chen and arrested him.
According to Chen Ting's father, the day before the crime, the murderer Chen met him and asked him about going to work, obviously Chen was waiting for an opportunity to commit the crime at that time, and Chen was waiting for Chen Ting's parents when they were not at home. However, what Chen Ting's parents didn't know was that the murderer Chen was still under "residential surveillance" before committing the crime, and the reason for Chen's residential surveillance was also the attempted rape he committed.
It is understood that Chen was controlled by the police after he attacked the female intermediary, but the prosecutor refused to approve Chen's arrest on the grounds of "insufficient evidence and lack of danger", which also led to the punishment of "residential surveillance". In this regard, a lawyer interpreted that it was not inappropriate for Chen to be placed under residential surveillance due to insufficient evidence, but it was a dereliction of duty for the relevant departments that Chen could move freely during the period of residential surveillance. It is reported that the Yantai Intermediate People's Court has now held a trial of the case, and Chen has been prosecuted for rape (attempt), intentional homicide, and destruction of corpses.
