On December 18, 2023, a major case that attracted national attention ushered in its final trial result. Lao Rongzhi, who was once well known to the people of the whole country for the serious crimes he was involved in, finally received the final verdict of the law on this day - the death penalty.
The news quickly sparked a wide discussion onlineMany netizens said that although the arrival of justice was a little slow, they were not absent after all.
The crimes of Lo Rongzhi and Fa Ziying show that they were lawless and reckless, as if they thought that no power could stop their atrocities.
They are unscrupulous, as if they think they can get away with it forever. Skynet is restored but not leaked, although justice may be late,But never absent. After decades of evasion and pursuit, in 2019, the criminal Lao Rongzhi was finally arrested in Xiamen, marking the arrival of justice.
Despite her arrest and trial, she appears to be trying to escape the punishment she deserves. In the subsequent multiple court trials, facing his own crimes,Not only did she not show any remorse, but she tried to evade responsibility through various justifications.
She tries to shift the blame to her lover Fa ZiyingClaiming to be acting under the threat of the other party. These attempts to evade justifications do not change the verdict of the law. The court gave a serious trial to her crimes, and the fair law finally punished her crimes.
At the end of June 1999, the notorious pair of Fa Ziying and Lao Rongzhi, after killing five people in a row, fled to Hefei, Anhui Province. They quickly found a relatively remote house as a hiding place. In order to integrate into local life and find the next target of the crime,Lao Rongzhi took the pseudonym Shen Lingqiu and began to work in a *** family.
Behind this strategy is their ruthless plan: to find unsuspecting targets who appear to be wealthy. At this time, Boss Yin, a seemingly wealthy and generous figure, came into Lao Rongzhi's sight.
Their plan was quickly executed: July 22Lo Rongzhi skillfully approached and lured Boss Yin to their rented place.
Boss Yin followed Lao Rongzhi unsuspectingly, completely unaware that he was stepping into a trap. As soon as he stepped through the door, he was immediately restrained.
In this seemingly ordinary room, there is a sturdy iron cage, which is the cage that Fa Ziying and Lo Rongzhi have carefully prepared for their victims.
In order to exert extreme intimidation on Boss Yin and demand a ransom of up to 300,000 yuan from him, Fa Ziying resorted to extremely cruel means to intimidate their hostagesfor quick access to property. Under the pretext of "needing manual work", they lured Lu Zhongming, a 31-year-old carpenter, to come.
Lu Zhongming soon fell victim to their atrocities. He was brutally murdered and brutally ended his life with a sharp knife in front of Boss Yin's eyes.
Fa Ziying coldly threatened Boss Yin if he didn't hand over all the moneyHis fate will be the same as that of a little carpenter. Even more horrifying, his body was mutilated and hidden in the refrigerator.
In extreme panic, Boss Yin trembled and wrote down two notesFa Ziying was instructed to go to his house to collect the ransom. Even after the note was written, Boss Yin could not escape the cruelty of fate - he was strangled to death by Fa Ziying, and his fate was as tragic as that of a little carpenter, and he died at the scene of the crime.
After a twenty-decade hunt, justice has finally been servedThis gives a degree of comfort to all the victims and their families. Although the pace of justice is slow, it is not absent after all.
When the little carpenter's wife, Zhu Dahong, was both excited and relieved when she learned the news: "I don't know the news yet, but I can finally give my husband an explanation." It was a moment of great joy, and we waited too longFinally, the righteous judgment has come down.
Originally, although the family of the little carpenter Lu Zhongming was not wealthy, he was able to maintain basic living needs because of his craftsmanship and enjoyed a simple but happy daily life.
The tragedy of Lu Zhongming's brutal murder brought a devastating blow to the family. His wife had to take on the burden of providing for her family on her own, and a fragile woman shouldered the daunting task of raising three children and caring for her elderly parents.
To make matters worse, out of the protection of the children's psyche, she did not tell them the truth, only that their father had gone to work in a distant place.
The family has been in turmoil for many years, and they have not received any form of compensation in the face of the weight of lifeThis exacerbates their plight even more.
As the children grew up, the family's living conditions improved slightly, but they still had a hard time. The misfortune of the little carpenter was not only a disaster for him personally, but also completely changed the fate of the entire family.
This heavy blow is not limited to Lu Zhongming's familyThe crimes of Lo Rongzhi and Fa Ziying have affected seven families, bringing untold pain and loss to each family.
In the course of their crimes, Fa Ziying and Lo Rongzhi showed extreme cruelty and cold-bloodedness. Not only did they brutally kill innocent victims, but they also meticulously removed the bodies with wire, duct tape and other tools.
In order to hide the traces of their crimes, they wrapped the bodies in plastic bags, quilts, and other everyday objectsEven the eyes, nostrils, and mouth of the corpse were sealed with glue and tape to prevent the corpse from emitting a foul smell when it decomposed.
The bodies were hidden in various corners of the rental house, such as under the bed, in the closet, on the sofa, or abandoned in hidden places such as garbage heaps and wastelands.
Their crimes don't stop there, they also use the victim's belongings to live a profligate and luxurious lifeThere is absolutely no show of remorse and conscience. Their actions caused a huge shock and strong condemnation in society, and the public was extremely indignant at their crimes.
The crimes of Lao Rongzhi and Fa Ziying have not only brought deep grief and irreparable losses to the victims' familiesIt also poses a serious threat to social order and public safety.
For more than 20 years, the families of the victims have continued to pursue justice, longing to see the criminals severely punished by the law, seeking justice for the deceased, and providing a certain degree of comfort for the living.
When Lo Rongzhi's death sentence was finally carried out, it was not only a due punishment for her crimes, but also a consolation for the victim's family's psychological trauma.
Although this could not completely heal their pain, it at least made them feel the presence of justice. This case once again underscores the fact that no matter how cunning and how hard the perpetrator tries to hide, he will not escape the law in the end.
The Nanchang Intermediate People's Court's arrangement for Lao Rongzhi to meet with his relatives before the execution was not only a sign of respect for his human rights, but also an open and transparent handling of his crimes.
This humane approach shows the seriousness of the lawIt also reflects the humanistic care of the society and balances the coldness of the law and the warmth of human nature.
When discussing the method of carrying out the death penalty of Lao Rongzhi, different voices and opinions emerged in society. There are two main types of execution in China: shooting and lethal injection. The two methods have different effects on death row prisoners on a psychological and physical level.
From the point of view of psychological pressure, shooting usually brings more fear and mental stress to death row inmates than lethal injection.
The process of execution is more direct and swift, and this method may cause extreme panic and despair on the part of the condemned prisoner before his execution. Some death row inmates have extreme fear reactions when faced with a shotFor example, difficulty walking and even incontinence.
From the point of view of the integrity of the body, lethal injection is generally better at preserving the integrity of the body. The process of lethal injection is gentler and the death comes more peacefully, so it is considered to be a more humane way to carry it out in some cases.
Regardless of the method of execution, the condemned prisoner himself has no choice. While a condemned person can apply for the manner in which the execution is to be carried out, the final decision rests with the courts.
And not all places have the conditions and facilities to carry out lethal injection. In areas where lethal injection is not available, the court has no choice but to carry out the execution.
Public opinion on Lo Wing-chi's case is divided. Some people believe that a major criminal like Lo Rongzhi should be executed to make her feel extreme fear before her execution, as punishment for her crimes. They believe that this way of dealing with it will make her more deeply aware of the horror and suffering she has caused.
Whichever way is chosen, it is important that the justice and seriousness of the law are reflectedEnsure that crimes are duly punished, while respecting fundamental principles of humanity. The handling of Lao Rongzhi's case is undoubtedly a test of the impartiality and humane handling of China's judicial system.
Lo Rongzhi's death sentence did mark the end of a caseBut it also symbolizes a deeper meaning. The closure of this case not only brought long-lost justice and peace to the victims and their families, but also drew an end to the criminal careers of the criminals, Lo Rongzhi and Fa Ziying.
The handling of this case is also a demonstration of judicial fairness and transparency, and strengthens people's confidence in the fairness of the law. Let us use this case as an inspiration to understand and advance the importance of the rule of law. Let us work together to create a peaceful, secure, civilized and progressive society, guided by the rule of law and with justice as the goal.
