Why was Wu Jianping sentenced to death for intentional homicide?

According to the provisions of Article 67 of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), a person who voluntarily surrenders himself after committing a crime and truthfully confesses his crime is a voluntary surrender. Criminals who surrender themselves may be given a lighter or mitigated punishment. Among them, if the crime is minor, the punishment may be exempted.

Article 61 When deciding the penalty, it shall be imposed in accordance with the facts, nature and circumstances of the crime and the degree of harm to society, and in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Law.

Article 63 If a criminal has mitigating circumstances as stipulated in this Law, he shall be sentenced to a penalty less than the statutory penalty.

Although criminals do not have mitigating circumstances as stipulated in this Law, according to the special circumstances of the case, with the approval of the Supreme People's Court, they may also be sentenced to a penalty below the statutory penalty.

Wu Jianping actively compensated the victim, and he surrendered himself. According to the law, he should be sentenced to death with a suspended execution, not immediately.
