a woman in liuzhou, guangxi, killed her cheating husband with a knife in the early morning and was sentenced to life imprisonment. recently, a criminal judgment published on the china judgment documents network disclosed the details of the case.

in may 2024, the guangxi liuzhou intermediate people's court made a first-instance judgment on the case. according to the criminal judgment, the public prosecutor alleged that huang and her husband fu (the victim, who died at the age of 65) lived together in chengzhong district, liuzhou city. in march 2023, huang discovered that fu had an extramarital affair with xie (female, 47 years old), so she asked fu to call xie to break up the relationship in person. after being rejected, she held a grudge and quarreled with fu many times, accompanied by physical conflicts.

in mid-august 2023, huang bought a sharp knife and put it in the shoulder bag he usually carried with him. on september 22 of the same year, huang hid the knife under the pillow on the bed in the bedroom. that night, huang and fu had another dispute over the above issue. at about 0:00 the next day, huang took out the knife and threatened fu to die together, and stabbed fu in the chest and neck several times with the knife. fu sat on the ground and asked huang for help, but huang did not rescue him. after thinking that fu was dead, huang put the sharp knife into a shoulder bag at about 3 am and took it to the liujiang river embankment and threw it into the river. then he returned home and called the zhongnan police station of the liuzhou public security bureau to report the crime, falsely claiming that she found her husband fu dead when she returned home, and there was a lot of blood at home, waiting for the public security personnel to arrive at home to deal with it.

after identification, it was found that fu was stabbed in the right neck by a single-edged weapon, causing the right external jugular vein to be severed and the right internal jugular vein to rupture, leading to massive bleeding and death.

huang moumou was born in 1964, is illiterate, unemployed, and lives in chengzhong district, liuzhou city. he was sentenced to three years in prison for arson on may 29, 2019, and was released on october 12, 2021 after serving his sentence. on december 13, 2022, he was sentenced to three months of detention, suspended for six months, and fined 2,000 yuan for the crime of theft.

in the first instance, huang had no objection to the charges in the indictment and requested a lighter sentence. huang's defense lawyer proposed that huang surrendered himself after committing the crime and truthfully confessed his crime, which was a self-surrender and he could be given a lighter sentence according to law; huang voluntarily pleaded guilty and accepted punishment, and he could be given a lighter sentence according to law; this case was caused by the intensification of marital and family conflicts, and the victim was partly at fault for the intensification of the conflicts. in summary, it is recommended that the court give huang a lenient sentence.

regarding the cause of this case, the liuzhou intermediate people's court held in the first instance that the testimonies of witnesses xie and zhu and the confession of huang all confirmed that huang and fu had a marital emotional dispute, and that this case was triggered by huang's discovery that fu was having an extramarital affair.

the liuzhou intermediate court held that huang intentionally and illegally deprived others of their lives, resulting in the death of one person, and his behavior constituted intentional homicide. the facts and charges alleged by the public prosecutor were established. huang had been sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment or above for intentional crimes. after the execution of the sentence, he committed a crime that should be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment or above within five years. he was a repeat offender and should be punished more severely according to law. although huang did not indicate that he was the perpetrator when he called the police after committing the crime, he did not flee the scene. when questioned by the judicial authorities, he was able to explain his crime and should be regarded as voluntarily surrendering. after returning to the case, he always truthfully confessed his crime, which was a self-surrender. according to law, he could be given a lighter or reduced punishment. huang voluntarily pleaded guilty and accepted punishment, and according to law, he could be treated leniently. this case was caused by conflicts in marriage and family life, and the victim fu had an extramarital affair with others during the continuation of the marriage, which was to some extent at fault for causing this case. taking into account the facts of huang's crime, the nature and circumstances of the crime and the degree of harm to society, the court decided to give him a lighter punishment. the defense counsel's defense opinion consistent with this was adopted by the court. the sentencing recommendation of the public prosecution agency is appropriate and this court adopts it.

based on this, the liuzhou intermediate people's court made a first-instance judgment on the case: huang was guilty of intentional homicide and sentenced to life imprisonment.
