>>>trial details

the young man said in court: "if i didn't do it, there would be no evidence"

the trial on august 30 lasted until 5:20 p.m., when the judge announced the end of the trial and that the verdict would be announced at a later date.

after the trial, defense lawyer zhou zhaocheng said in an interview: "throughout the trial, looking at the evidence submitted by the prosecution, the main evidence that wang mouyang committed the crime of illegal entry into a residence was the accusation of the victim's female tenant. there is no objective evidence such as dna to prove that the defendant wang mouyang was violent or committed a crime. the surveillance video at the time of the incident did not capture the situation inside the house."

zhou zhaocheng confirmed that during the trial on the afternoon of august 30, "wang mouyang stated in court that according to current technology, if i had done it, there would definitely be evidence. if i had not done it, there would definitely be no evidence. i hope the court can give me justice."

>>> evidence

the victim accused the tenant of strangling her neck, but no dna traces were found in the injury assessment

defense lawyer zhou zhaocheng said in an interview that the elements of the crime of illegal entry into a residence include forcible entry without the consent of the owner or refusal to leave. according to the evidence submitted by the defense lawyer, wang mouyang appeared at the scene of the incident to rent a house for his girlfriend. the surveillance video can also confirm that wang mouyang went upstairs at 4:42 pm and came downstairs at 4:51 pm, staying for only 9 minutes in between.

after wang mouyang went upstairs, he did not go directly into the woman's room, but went into the shared toilet outside the corridor at 4:43 and walked out in less than half a minute. wang mouyang himself confessed that he knocked on the door normally when entering the room and there was no violence.

since the surveillance video did not capture the situation inside the house and there were disagreements between the statements of the two parties, other evidence was needed to restore the truth, including on-site investigation, physical evidence inspection, witness testimony, etc.

zhou zhaocheng said that whether wang mouyang committed violent behavior also needs to be confirmed by objective evidence.

"the woman who called the police accused wang mouyang of strangling her neck, but the injury assessment did not extract any dna traces or other objective evidence to prove that the two parties had physical contact. at present, the surveillance video alone does not show it. judging from the figure, wang mouyang did not make any major physical movements when he entered the room."

>>>key details

the victim's statements about which hand the young man used to strangle her neck were contradictory.

zhou zhaocheng pointed out that the victim's female tenant's multiple statements contained contradictions in key details, while the defendant wang mouyang's multiple confessions were consistently consistent.

"the victim's description of the basic facts of the case was very inconsistent. she was unclear about how the defendant committed the crime and how he entered the room. she also had a lot of discrepancies in her description of how wang mouyang used violence. even the victim's statement about which hand the defendant used to strangle her was contradictory. in contrast, the defendant's description of what happened before and after entering the room was relatively clear, stable, and consistent."

the father-in-law of the victim female tenant previously stated in an interview with the media that at the time of the incident, his daughter-in-law was strangled by wang mouyang and there was relevant evidence.

according to wang mouyang's family, the procuratorate alleged that at about 16:48 on december 20, 2023, wang mouyang went to a building in a village in futang town, yiwu city, first went to the third floor to check, and then lingered in front of the door of the female tenant's room on the second floor. when the female tenant who was alone in the room opened the door to go to the toilet, he controlled the victim by pushing the door with his feet and pinching the victim's neck without her consent, forced his way into the house, closed the door, pushed the victim onto the bed, and used violent threatening words. after the victim said that her husband would be back from get off work soon, he threatened the victim not to call the police and left.
