On the morning of December 28, 2023, the Nanchang Intermediate People's Court complied with the execution order issued by the Supreme People's Court and executed Lao Rongzhi, who was full of evil.
This is a victory for justice and a victory for law.
In this case, Lao Rongzhi and her lover Fa Ziying jointly committed a number of crimes such as robbery, intentional homicide, and kidnapping, and their criminal methods were cruel and heinous, causing a total of 7 deaths.
The extremely heinous nature of these crimes has not only brought great suffering and harm to the victims, but also caused great threat and instability to society, and has also triggered deep reflection on the power of justice and the rule of law.
After the second instance of the case of Lao Rongzhi, the Jiangxi Provincial High Court upheld the first-instance death sentence and approved the death sentence of Lao Rongzhi.
During the second-instance trial, Lao Rongzhi denied some important facts identified in the first-instance judgment and said that he was very aggrieved. However, the court held that Lo Wing-chi played a major role in the joint crime, was the principal offender, and should be held responsible for all the crimes.
Although Lo Rongzhi asked the court to give him a lighter punishment on the grounds that he was pregnant or suffering from a serious illness, the court held that none of these reasons could be established.
In the end, the Supreme People's Court approved the second-instance judgment of the Jiangxi Provincial High Court and upheld the death sentence.
Justice may be late, but it will not be absent. Punishment for criminal acts is the greatest comfort to the victim and society. Everyone is equal before the law, and crimes must be punished!
The fair handling of this case demonstrates the impartiality and authority of China's judicial system. We believe that on the track of the rule of law, everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and enjoy equal, fair and transparent judicial protection.
