Li is 78 years old. Before he retired, he was a coal miner. Li Hua (a pseudonym) is his only son. Because he is an old man, Li loves Li Hua very much.
Neighbors revealed that liai drank alcohol, but his capacity for alcohol was poor. When he was young, he often beat his wife and children after drinking, and he also made trouble in the village many times because of drunkenness.
Li Hua is not only addicted to alcohol, but also likes gambling. He once lost hundreds of thousands of land because of playing mahjong. Li Hua's cousin said that he didn't go out to make money himself and kept asking Li for money, which led to a bad relationship between father and son.
In order to get Li Hua married smoothly, Li found someone to borrow money everywhere, and finally got enough 654.38+ 10,000 yuan. In 20 18, Li Hua married his wife Xiao Liu, and Xiao Liu gave birth to a daughter soon after.
After Li Hua got married, the relationship with Li finally eased. However, Li has been dissatisfied with Xiao Liu's daughter-in-law. Li said that Xiao Liu wouldn't let himself hold his granddaughter, saying that he was afraid of passing the disease on to the children, but Li Hua's cousin could hold the children at will, and Xiao Liu was still very happy. Li believes that daughter-in-law Xiao Liu must have an affair with cousin Li Hua.
For Li's doubts, Xiao Liu said that he was very embarrassed. She said, "Impossible! I don't even have a phone number for my cousin Li Hua. "
Li also specifically mentioned this matter to Li Hua, but was scolded by his son. Li said: "When I scolded my daughter-in-law, my son not only didn't help me but also protected my daughter-in-law, trying to beat me into a semi-disabled." Li felt that his son not only couldn't control his daughter-in-law, but also didn't know good or bad, so he began to commit suicide. He said, "I'm going to chop this son to death and give him the evil spirit."
At noon on May 29th, 2020, Li went to a relative's house for a drink. He looked in a good mood. I left my bike with my relatives because I was drunk when I left. Li Hua finished the night shift that day and was sleeping at home. When Li came home, he saw his sleeping son on the kang, and a bitter feeling rose in his heart. He picked up an axe and cut his son's head, causing Li Hua to die on the spot.
One month before the incident, Li polished the axe and hid it under the cupboard at home. Originally, he wanted to chop down his cousin Li Hua. After killing his son, Li also yelled at Xiao Liu: "Now that my son is dead, you can go with his cousin."
At about 2: 30 pm on the day of the incident, Li hacked his son to death and walked out of the house with his hands covered with blood. He stood in front of his house and told passers-by that his cousin Li Hua had killed someone and asked passers-by to call the police.
After being arrested, Li confessed to the police that he regretted it. This is all a disaster caused by drunkenness.
The Intermediate People's Court of Xining City, Qinghai Province held that Li's behavior constituted the crime of intentional homicide. In view of the fact that Li was 75 years old at the time of the incident, he decided to give him a lighter punishment.
Netizens said that Li, who is in his 70 s, should have enjoyed family happiness, but it was really embarrassing because of his suspicion and alcoholism.
Some lawyers said that although Li was drunk in this case, he was still able to control his capacity and should bear criminal responsibility for his criminal behavior. Being drunk is not a reason for mitigating punishment. This case also warned more people not to be impulsive after drinking, to take the right way to deal with family conflicts, and not to go to extremes.
