The 23-year-old man, unable to support himself and misanthropic, took revenge on the society and repeatedly threw objects from high altitudes causing the death of passers-by. He said in court that he would not appeal, but asked for euthanasia.
At the scene of the crime at the Dragon Boat Festival in 2023 (June 22), 28-year-old Ms. Lou came to the Changchun Hongqi Street Night Market with great anticipation to wait for her boyfriend's arrival, that night, she first bought some snacks at the night market downstairs and went upstairs, and at about 10:30 in the evening, she went downstairs again to buy barbecue at the roadside stall, but in the process of waiting after she paid the money, she was unfortunately hit on the head by a brick thrown by Zhou and died on the spot. At this time, her boyfriend was on his way.
The scene of the crime was supposed to be a beautiful date, but I didn't want to separate yin and yang. According to Ms. Lou's boyfriend, he was on his way to the incident and wanted to go to another place to play together after the incident, but he didn't admit that something would happen.
* Zhou is an unemployed vagrant, 23 years old, from Jiangxi. Because he couldn't support himself, Zhou developed a misanthropy and had suicidal thoughts. But when he stood on the roof of the building, he was timid again and "didn't dare to jump", so he had the idea of throwing objects from a high altitude to kill others to beg for death. On the afternoon and evening of June 17, 2023, he threw objects downward from the Wanda Apartment on Hongqi Street twice, causing injuries to the victims, Dong and Song. But this time the throwing object was not discovered, and it was not arrested.
5 days after Ms. Lou's death, that is, on the evening of June 22, 2023, Zhou committed a crime again. He threw eight bricks at the crowd on the ground on the 32nd floor of Wanda Apartment, one of which hit the victim, Ms. Lou, on the head, causing the tragedy.
On November 27, 2023, the Changchun Intermediate People's Court publicly tried the case, and Zhou confessed to his crime, saying that he didn't want to live anymore, so he wanted to pull a cushion. The first-instance verdict sentenced Zhou to death and deprived him of his political rights for life. Zhou said in court that he would not appeal, but hoped to be euthanized.
Although Ms. Lou received the punishment she deserved, this kind of revenge against society has an extremely bad impact, and if there is no better way to deal with it, it will be infinitely harmful. In this regard, some netizens said that Zhou did it intentionally and confessed, so if he claimed that it was not intentional, how would he be judged?Isn't there no death penalty?I believe that ** has a specific object, and the harm is relatively small, while Zhou's behavior is a group of people without a specific object, which endangers public safety, and the consequences are immeasurable. To a certain extent, the harm is far more serious than **. Therefore, it is suggested that all high-altitude throws should be punished heavily.
According to Ms. Lou's sister, her sister is practicing law in Beijing, her career is on the rise, and she and her boyfriend have a stable relationship and have plans to get married, but the tragedy has taken everything away from her. Ms. Lou's sister also expressed the hope that the verdict in this case will protect more innocent people from high-altitude objects.
