On February 4, 2024, in accordance with the execution order issued by the Supreme People's Court, the Haidong Intermediate People's Court verified the identity of the convict Zhang Keping and escorted him to the execution site for execution. Before leaving, arrangements were made for the convicts to meet with their relatives, and the Haidong City People's Procuratorate sent personnel to supervise the scene in accordance with the law.
The court ascertained through trial that the convict Zhang Keping and the victim Yang XX (died at the age of 37) were both employees of a certain company, and Zhang Keping's business was managed by Yang XX. In September 2021, the company's research adjusted the scope of Zhang Keping's work. Zhang Keping believed that Yang Moumou's work adjustment affected his performance, and he was resentful of Yang Moumou and intended revenge. At about 16:49 on August 3, 2022, Zhang Keping received a work arrangement message from Yang Moumou during his participation in the banquet and was dissatisfied. At about 17 o'clock on the same day, Zhang Keping drove a car to the company after being drunk, hid the single-edged knife in his clothes and entered the second floor of the company. Yang Moumou ran downstairs, and Zhang Keping continued to stab Yang Moumou in the back, chest and other places while chasing with a knife, causing Yang Moumou to be punctured in the heart and lungs and died of massive blood loss. Zhang Keping was roped by the crowd who rushed to hear the news**, and was later arrested by the public security organs. After identification, ethanol was detected in Zhang Keping's blood, and the mass concentration of ethanol was 1470635mg/100ml。
The court held that the convict Zhang Keping drove a motor vehicle to the unit while drunk, deliberately and illegally deprived others of their lives, and his actions constituted the crimes of intentional homicide and dangerous driving, respectively, and should be punished concurrently in accordance with the law. Zhang Keping was unable to correctly handle the contradictions with the victim in his work, and stabbed the victim more than 10 times in public, causing the victim's death. After the verdict was pronounced, Zhang Keping appealed, and the Qinghai Provincial High People's Court made a final ruling rejecting the appeal, upholding the original judgment, and reporting to the Supreme People's Court for review in accordance with the law. After review, the Supreme People's Court approved the sentence of the convict Zhang Keping to death for intentional homicide and deprivation of political rights for life; He was sentenced to two months' detention and a fine of 2,000 yuan for dangerous driving, and was sentenced to death, deprived of political rights for life, and fined 2,000 yuan.
