On September 26th, 20 13, Changsha Intermediate People's Court pronounced the case in Liuyang. Ye Jiangnian committed the crime of intentional homicide and was sentenced to death and deprived of political rights for life.
Facing the accusation of the public prosecution agency, Ye Jiangnian confessed his crimes. Ye Jiangnian's defense lawyer said that Ye Jiangnian voluntarily surrendered himself and actively cooperated with the investigation by the public security organs. He surrendered himself and was a first-time offender, so he asked the court to give him a lighter punishment as appropriate.
In this lawsuit of criminal incidental civil compensation, Song Huiwen's parents asked Ye Jiangnian to compensate for economic losses and spiritual comfort of more than 670,000 yuan.
The court held that Ye Jiangnian deliberately deprived others of their lives because of family chores, which constituted the crime of intentional homicide. Although Ye Jiangnian was a first-time offender and surrendered himself after the crime, the method of dismembering the body after killing was extremely cruel, extremely bad in nature and extremely serious in crime. Failing to give a lighter punishment according to law, he was sentenced to death and deprived of political rights for life. In addition, Ye Jiangnian was sentenced to compensate Song Huiwen's parents for economic losses of more than 20,000 yuan.
