1993, two boys in Jiangxi were found in the reservoir after missing, and the police quickly solved the case. It took two days to lock the suspect Zhang Yuhuan and arrest him. Finally, after trial, Zhang Yuhuan was sentenced to death with a suspended execution for intentional homicide.
Since then, Zhang Yuhuan has repeatedly complained that he was beaten by investigators, squatted on a stake, electrocuted, and even brought German dogs to bite and extract confessions.
On 20 17, Zhang Yuhuan filed a criminal complaint with the cellar of Jiangxi High Court, demanding a retrial of the murder of two boys in Jiangxi, and Zhang Yuhuan was finally acquitted. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuhuan's case was full of twists and turns. In 20 18, Jiangxi high court announced that it would review the case and decided to retry the case the following year.
If Zhang Yuhuan is finally acquitted, then who is the real murderer will become the focus of attention. Shu Ailan, who lost her son, said in an interview with media reporters:
He has been arrested for more than 20 years, and now he may be acquitted. So my son died in vain? If he is not the real murderer, who is the real murderer? ?
The murderer has been wronged for 25 years. Is it him or not?
According to the lawyer, Zhang Yuhuan's murder case went through four trials, during which he made six statements himself. In these six transcripts, two transcripts show that Zhang Yuhuan admitted that he was the murderer. According to the police who tried Zhang Yuhuan's case, the reason why Zhang Yuhuan pleaded guilty was mainly the result of Zhang Yuhuan's probation after the patient and meticulous work of the police.
So, what's wrong with Zhang Yuhuan's two confessions?
It is reported that these two confessions are contradictory in terms of criminal events, locations and details of crimes. The lawyer also revealed that Nanchang Zhongyuan had met the criminal suspect Zhang Yuhuan's defense in court during the first trial. He claimed that he was wronged, and stressed that he pleaded guilty because investigators forced him to confess during the trial. Even after the retrial, Zhang Yuhuan kept complaining that all his previous confessions were false. After the first trial, the court held that Zhang Yuhuan's excuse was an act of shirking responsibility, which was not accepted by the court.
According to Zhang Yuhuan's brother Zhang Minqiang, Zhang Yuhuan was unbearable and had two suicide experiences. Once, Zhang Yuhuan tore up his clothes in prison and was finally locked up, so he had the idea of suicide again. Later, the prison called Zhang Minqiang, and Zhang Minqiang went to the prison to comfort Zhang Yuhuan, only to quell his suicidal thoughts. Later, after reading the case file, the lawyer of second instance told him that the murderer was not Zhang Yuhuan, and that's why Zhang Yuhuan was wronged.
In his later statements to the judiciary, Zhang Yuhuan repeatedly mentioned his grievances and insisted that his confession was the result of coercion. In the end, these hearts are also sinking into the sea, and there is no news.
So far, Zhang Yuhuan has served 26 years, and his wife has remarried with her children. Whether Zhang Yuhuan has been wronged or not, and how long it will take him to avenge himself, let's wait and see.
