Tetrodotoxin is hand-packed into pearl powder capsules.
On December 1, on suspicion of intentional homicide, the case was tried in the Intermediate People's Court of Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province.
The prosecution alleged that the defendant Dai had a debt of more than 2.6 million yuan due to the failure of speculation in virtual currency, and in order to alleviate the economic pressure, he had the evil idea of killing people and defrauding a huge amount of insurance money. On April 26, 2020, Dai asked Wang to apply for a term life insurance policy with an insurance amount of 2 million online. After the 90-day deductible period of the insurance was about to expire, Dai married Wang on July 20, 2020, and asked Wang to change the insurance beneficiary from his father to his spouse Dai on July 24, 2020.
Since June 2020, Dai has purchased pearl powder capsules twice, dried puffer fish five times, and tetrodotoxin four times through five female friends. On September 11, 2020, Dai filled 20 mg of tetrodotoxin into two pearl powder capsules. On September 12, 2020, Dai asked Wang to take the poison capsule without his knowledge, and after Wang reported vomiting, he again asked Wang to take the second poison capsule, which eventually led to Wang's death.
Wang's family mentioned in the civil complaint attached to the criminal case that Wang was just one of Dai's many female friends, and from applying for insurance, getting married, to changing the beneficiary, Dai induced Wang to complete it. In addition, every time Dai buys pearl powder and tetrodotoxin, he asks female friends to buy anonymously, borrow someone else's name, or change the mobile phone card after purchase, delete WeChat, etc.
On September 11, 2020, Dai personally filled 20 mg of tetrodotoxin into two pearl powder capsules, and after establishing his alibi on September 12, he tricked Wang into taking the poisoned capsules and asked him to uninstall WeChat.
The lawyer of the victim Wang's family believes that Dai X directly and intentionally killed people in order to defraud a huge amount of insurance money, and the circumstances and methods are extremely heinous, and should constitute the crime of direct intentional homicide and insurance fraud, and sentenced the defendant Dai X to death. Because of his criminal conduct, he caused great economic and mental losses to Wang's family, and should be compensated.
On the afternoon of December 1, the trial ended, and Wang's family expressed their reluctance to talk about the trial and Dai's defense and repentance, hoping that the court would make a fair judgment. The reporter noted that the case was originally scheduled to take place on December 1 but was later cancelled. The verdict in the case was not pronounced in court.
In 2022, Dai Lumin was sentenced to death for intentional homicide in the first instance, and the original verdict was upheld in the second instance.
