The murderer was cruel and strangled the little girl to death. A 76-year-old man from Changge is suspected of killing a little girl
On March 27, a 7-year-old girl disappeared. That day, when the girl went out to play, she told her father to go home at 8 o'clock and to do a nucleic acid test with her father. But after 8 o'clock, the girl had not returned yet, and the family was extremely anxious and searched everywhere. At the same time, the search for her spread all over the country. The family called the police, and the media interviewed a 76-year-old man from the same village. He stuttered in speech and had wandering eyes. The police began to suspect him, but it was only suspicion. After confirmation by local village cadres, the police took the old man away for investigation and questioning. By noon on the 29th, the missing girl was found, but murdered. According to reports, the child was found in a garbage dump with no vital signs. How cruel were the murderer's methods?
According to many informed netizens, the old man fell in love with the little girl’s grandmother, but was strongly opposed by the little girl’s parents, so he felt resentful. At about 9 a.m. on March 27, when the old man saw the little girl alone, he brutally strangled the little girl to death, and then used his electric tricycle to dump the girl's body in a garbage pit next to the woods on the west side of the highway approach road. . In my opinion, the man's purpose was probably not to kill, but to kidnap the girl and force the girl's grandmother to agree to date him. So why did he kill the girl again in the end? Personally, I feel that this seems to be a sudden incident, and the little girl will definitely resist when she is kidnapped. It is not impossible that the man killed his heart on impulse because he was afraid that the matter would be exposed. Can a 76-year-old murderer be sentenced to death?
Of course. According to Paragraph 2 of Article 49 of the Criminal Law, the death penalty is not applicable to persons who are over 75 years old at the time of trial, except where death is caused by particularly cruel means. It can be seen that in principle, the death penalty is not applicable to people over 75 years old, but this definitely does not mean that the death penalty cannot be applied. The law provides an exception, that is, the death penalty should be applied to those who kill with particularly cruel means.
