The case of the father-in-law killing his daughter-in-law attracted a hot discussion among netizens: Will the father give a light sentence when his son writes a letter of understanding?

The police in Nan 'an City, Fujian Province issued a report on the disappearance of Quanzhou women, which triggered a heated discussion on the Internet. After preliminary investigation, the criminal suspect Dai Mouhua (male, 6 1 year old, meishan town, Nan 'an, father-in-law) confessed to the crime of killing his daughter-in-law Xiaowen (a pseudonym) after a quarrel. Dai Mouhua has been criminally detained by the police according to law. According to Taihai Net, Xiaowen's parents got the news that their daughter was suspected of being dismembered after being killed. Fishermen captured suspected human tissues near Qianfeng Bridge in Honglai, and human tissues suspected of being burned were also found in the waste incineration site in Qianfeng District.

Some netizens questioned that Xiaowen's husband and family were involved in the dismemberment or concealment of the case to varying degrees. In this regard, Niu Zi journalist contacted Meishan Police Station of Nan 'an Public Security Bureau for verification. The relevant duty officer told the reporter that the case is currently under investigation and it is not convenient to disclose the relevant situation.

According to related reports, Xiaowen hasn't been out since he came home from work. At 7: 001on the morning of 20th, local surveillance photographed Xiaowen's father-in-law, Dai Mouhua, pushing a motorcycle out of the house. Dai Mouhua drove an unlicensed van out of the house. Xiaowen's parents rushed to her son-in-law's house after learning that her daughter was missing, and her in-laws Dai Mouhua also took them to look around the village. During this period, her son-in-law Dai Mohe also reported to Meishan police station that his wife was missing. That night, Xiaowen's parents called the police after investigating the monitoring in the village, saying that their daughter might be killed.

With the deepening of the police investigation, Xiaowen's father-in-law Dai Mouhua was taken away by the police for investigation. Later, only Dai Mouhua was detained by the police, and everyone else went home. The Paper reporter learned from Xiaowen's husband, Dai Mou, and the Honglai Central Health Center in Nan 'an that Dai Mou and he are indeed doctors in the health center and have stopped visiting. After the police informed Xiaowen's father-in-law Dai Mouhua to kill his daughter-in-law, Xiaowen's parents and other relatives posted slogans such as "Give my life back to my daughter" at the door of her son-in-law's house.

Fu Jian, a lawyer of Henan Yulong Law Firm, believes that the father-in-law's behavior of killing, shredding and burning corpses can be seen from two aspects, one is conviction, and the other is sentencing. Regarding conviction, if the evidence of intentional homicide by the father-in-law is sufficient and the facts are clear, there is no problem with conviction and punishment. However, if a family member discloses the act of dismembering, throwing and burning the body, it will have a great impact on sentencing. The act of dismembering, dumping and burning corpses reflects the cruelty of criminal means, the bad nature and the particularly serious subjective malignancy, which can be severely punished.

For netizens: Can the victim's husband, Dai Mou, issue a letter of understanding in exchange for his father's leniency? Lawyer Fu Jian said: "If the victim's husband is not involved or ignorant of the crime, he can be a relative of the victim and has the right to issue a letter of understanding, but whether he can get a light sentence depends not only on the understanding of the victim's husband, but also on the opinions of other family members of the victim. Therefore, whether it can be lightly sentenced depends on the court's comprehensive understanding of others and the circumstances of the crime. "

Lawyer Fu Jian also said: "If the public security organ later discovers that other family members are also involved in dismemberment or concealment, it may violate the mutual provisions of China's criminal law on the crime of helping to destroy evidence, and may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention according to the circumstances of the crime."
