Husband Suo beat his wife while drinking in the living room and put a kitchen knife on the dining table. Later, because the child was crying, his wife went back to the bedroom to comfort the child. Her husband Suo entered the room after drinking and continued to beat her. He also said that he would chop off her feet with a kitchen knife, then walked out of the room and picked up the kitchen knife. The wife took out a knife from the closet and slashed her head, arms, and abdomen. Her husband Suo picked it up. The wife went to the home of her husband's second sister Suo for help, and Suo's husband called the police. After identification, the man Suo was seriously injured and his wife Liu was slightly injured. The Jiangshan City Public Security Bureau of Zhejiang Province opened the case for investigation and handed it over to the Procuratorate for review and prosecution. The procuratorate sent personnel to visit Suo's family several times and learned that there were six members of the Suo family. Suo's parents are old and sick and unable to work. Before the incident, Suo was working locally and had no income after being laid off. The Liu family takes care of their two children at home, and living allowance is the family's main source of income. Villagers reported that Suo often committed domestic violence against Liu after drinking, and beat relatives, friends and neighbors many times. They believed that Liu's behavior was an attack on domestic violence and hoped to downplay the matter. ?
The procuratorial organ believed that Liu faced real and imminent personal danger and that fighting back with a knife was legitimate self-defense. Although this knife was prepared in advance, it did not affect the nature of defense. Suo was beaten with his bare hands. This behavior is just plain violence. Although Suo claimed to have chopped Liu with a kitchen knife, Suo did not chop Liu with a knife, nor did he use tools or high-intensity methods that could endanger life or cause serious injury. Of course, his defense method and damage consequences were clearly out of balance with the unlawful infringement (it was considered excessive defense). Since this case was caused by a family dispute, his wife Liu surrendered. The Jiangshan City Procuratorate of Zhejiang Province decided not to prosecute Liu in accordance with the provisions of Article 177, Paragraph 2, of the Criminal Procedure Law. In order to cope with Suo's financial difficulties, the procuratorate applied for judicial assistance and communicated with the village committee. The village committee supervised the use of judicial assistance funds to prevent Suo from domestic violence. ?
After deciding not to prosecute, the procuratorate conducted dynamic tracking and education for the two people. After the return visit, Suo no longer committed domestic violence against Liu.
