According to the Fuzhou Intermediate People's Court, the Supreme People's Court interrogated the defendant Wu Xie Yu in accordance with the law during the review period. Wu Xie Yu entrusted a defense lawyer to defend him, and the defense lawyer reviewed the file materials, met with the defendant, and submitted defense opinions. The Supreme People's Court has conscientiously listened to and reviewed the defense opinions, fully safeguarding the procedural rights enjoyed by the defendants in accordance with law.
The Intermediate People's Court of Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, delivered the Supreme People's Court's criminal ruling to Wu Xieyu. On January 31, 2024, the Fuzhou Intermediate People's Court carried out the death sentence of Wu Xie Yu in accordance with the execution order issued by the Supreme People's Court. The Fuzhou Municipal People's Procuratorate dispatched personnel to supervise the scene in accordance with law. Before the execution, the Fuzhou Intermediate People's Court informed Wu Xie Yu that he could apply to meet with his relatives, but Wu Xie Yu did not apply.
The Supreme People's Court reviewed and confirmed: Defendant Wu Xie Yu was pessimistic and misanthropic and had suicidal thoughts, and after his father died of illness, he believed that his mother Xie XX's life had lost its meaning, and in the first half of 2015, he had the idea of killing Xie XX, and purchased tools for committing the crime online. At about 17 o'clock on July 10, 2015, Wu Xie Yu took advantage of Xie Moumou's home to change his shoes, and continuously slammed Xie Moumou's head and face with a dumbbell bar, causing Xie Moumou's death.
Later, Wu Xie Yu concealed the truth that Xie Moumou had been killed by him from his relatives and friends, fabricated that Xie Moumou accompanied him to go abroad for exchange and study, and defrauded relatives and friends of 1.44 million yuan to squander it on the grounds that he needed living expenses, tuition fees, financial resources and other reasons. In order to evade detection, Wu Xie Yu purchased more than 10 identity documents to conceal his identity.
The Supreme People's Court held that the defendant Wu Xie Yu intentionally and unlawfully deprived others of their lives, and his conduct constituted the crime of intentional homicide; For the purpose of illegal possession, fabricating facts, concealing the truth, or defrauding others of property, the amount of which is particularly huge, and their conduct constitutes the crime of fraud; The purchase of multiple resident identity cards also constitutes the crime of buying and selling identity documents, and shall be punished concurrently in accordance with law. Wu Xie Yu's crime of intentional homicide was brutal, the circumstances were heinous, the crime was extremely serious, it seriously violated human ethics, seriously trampled on the public's cognition and emotion, and caused an extremely bad social impact; Wu Xie Yu continued to commit the crimes of intentional homicide, fraud, and buying and selling identity documents, and his subjective malice was deep, and he had no sincerity to repent, and should be punished in accordance with law.
The facts ascertained in the first-instance judgment and second-instance judgment are clear, the evidence is credible and sufficient, the conviction is accurate, and the sentence is appropriate. The trial proceedings were lawful. Accordingly, the Supreme People's Court approved the Fujian Provincial High People's Court in accordance with law to uphold the first-instance sentence of the defendant Wu Xie Yu to death for intentional homicide and deprivation of political rights for life; sentenced to 11 years' imprisonment and a fine of RMB 100,000 for fraud; He was sentenced to three years' imprisonment and a fine of 3,000 yuan for the crime of buying and selling identity documents, and it was decided to carry out the death penalty, deprivation of political rights for life, and a fine of 103,000 yuan.
Previously, it was reported that Zheng Xiaojing, a lawyer for Wu Xie Yu's death penalty review, introduced that after the second-instance verdict was announced, she went to Fuzhou No. 1 Detention Center to meet Wu Xie Yu on November 11, 2023. Wu Xieyu's mental condition in the detention center is relatively stable, and he has a strong desire to survive, hoping to live to atone for his crimes.
Wu Xie Yu said that if he can live, no matter how he goes, he will be a useful person to society. In the detention center, Wu Xie Yu also wrote letters of apology to his grandmother, uncle, aunt and others, saying that he "really did something wrong and regretted it."
However, the Dawan News reporter noticed that this time, before the execution of the execution, the Fuzhou Intermediate People's Court informed Wu Xie Yu that he could apply to meet with his relatives, but Wu Xie Yu did not apply.
On the morning of January 31, a Dawan News reporter contacted Wu Xieyu's defense lawyer Xu Xin, Xu Xin did not say much, he said, "This result is regrettable, Wu Xie Yu is a typical mental illness, which is related to his mother's repressive education." It is understood that previously, in the second-instance defense stage, Xu Xin had put forward defense opinions such as "Wu Xie Yu is mentally ill, don't kill a mentally ill person, and the deceased mother hopes that the rebellious son will not die".
