Gambling is the root of all evil. Gambling means nine times out of ten you will lose. Once you get involved in gambling, your life is basically over. In this case, the criminal suspect himself cheated in the card game and was discovered by others. He originally wanted to return the money he won to the victim, so he stopped there. Unexpectedly, he picked up a butcher knife and killed someone, which was completely devoid of humanity.
Let’s take a look at this murder case caused by gambling! The criminal suspect's "gold speculation" was discovered.
On the evening of February 22, 2020, the criminal suspect Mo and the victim Lu and several others met at Mo's home to "speculate for gold." While playing cards, the criminal suspect Mo was basically winning money. This time the "fried golden flower" victim Lv lost more than 100,000, and the others also lost a lot of money, but Lv lost the most.
On the evening of March 12, the criminal suspect Mo once again invited the victim Lu and others to his home to "speculate gold." Unexpectedly, this time, it was basically Mo who won the money, and the victim, Lu, lost more than 50,000 yuan. Including the lost money, Lv Mou lost nearly 160,000 yuan, which aroused Lv Mou's suspicion.
Lv secretly observed Mo’s behavior and found that Mo’s eyes looked strange when he was looking at playing cards. Lv deliberately took a playing card that Mo had used. As a result, Lv discovered that the suit and number of the card could be seen from the back of the playing card that Mo had used. Lu immediately exposed Mo as a cheater on the spot. In the face of the evidence, Mo promised to refund 200,000 yuan to Lu and 71,000 yuan to the others.
Mo returned 120,000 yuan to Lu on the spot, leaving 80,000 yuan unpaid.
The suspect was dissatisfied with the refund of his gambling money and brutally killed the victim with a butcher's knife
Mo returned the money he had won through unfair means to Lu, feeling very unhappy. Mo blamed all this on Lv, thinking that Lv had bullied him. Mo was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night.
The next day, Mo asked Lv to meet, and Mo made up his mind not to repay Lv’s money. So he stole a butcher's knife from his neighbor's house and hid it on his body. Mo asked Lu to meet. When the two walked to a fork in the local street, Mo suddenly took out the butcher's knife and stabbed Lu continuously. Lv died on the spot.
According to subsequent police investigations, Mo stabbed Lu more than a dozen times on his abdomen, limbs and other important parts of his body.
Before committing the crime, Mo took a selfie with his mobile phone and left his last words to his family: Goodbye, the old man can only do this once, nothing is worth it, nothing is worth it, my wife is sorry for you, I am only sorry for you.
After committing the crime, Mo also used a butcher knife to force others to drive him away from the scene. Surprisingly, the crime scene was less than 500 meters away from the local police station, which shows how cruel Mo is! Later, Mo Mou surrendered under the persuasion of his family. The victim's family gave up civil compensation and asked the court to severely punish the murderer.
After the incident, the victim Lu's mother turned gray overnight. She often shed tears at home. The father of the victim, Lu, was originally a disabled person and originally expected his son to take care of him until he died. Lu also left behind a 10-year-old son who was in school.
Lu’s family said that after the incident, no one from Mo’s family came to their home to apologize to them, and they would not forgive Mo. They decided to give up all civil compensation and only asked the court to sentence Mo to death and bring justice to the deceased Lu.
After the incident, the local judicial department conducted a mental appraisal on Mo. The appraisal results showed that Mo was in a normal state of mind when committing the crime and had full criminal responsibility.
After being sentenced to death by the court in the first instance, Mo expressed his appeal in court
On May 31, the Huaihua Intermediate People’s Court held a public hearing on the case. The court held that Mo stabbed the victim continuously with a knife, causing him to die on the spot, and his behavior constituted the crime of intentional homicide; Mo repeatedly organized others to gamble at his home, and his behavior constituted the crime of gambling.
Mo Mou killed the victim Lu Mou with a knife because of his gambling fault.
Mo is lawless, his criminal methods are very cruel, and his social impact is extremely bad. Although Mo Mou surrendered, considering the facts of this case, it is not enough to give him a lighter punishment.
The court ruled in the first instance that Mo was sentenced to death for intentional homicide and deprived of political rights for life; Mo was sentenced to 2 years in prison and fined 30,000 yuan for gambling. Several crimes were punished concurrently, and it was decided to sentence Mo to death, deprive him of political rights for life, and fine him 30,000 yuan.
Faced with such a verdict, Mo expressed dissatisfaction and expressed his intention to appeal in court.
Everyone has heard the saying "Stay away from pornography, gambling and drugs", but there are always people who want to "make a fortune" through gambling. Cases involving gambling tell us that this is wishful thinking.
"Horse betting" is a kind of "gambling"; "horse betting" is a kind of "gambling"; .
Gambler Mo Mou not only gambles, he also "bets on his life." The court sentenced Mo to death. This is the price he should pay. I hope everyone will stay away from gambling.
The court sentenced Mo to death.
