PHUKET: A Chinese tourist arrested for drowning his wife in a resort-room pool in Phuket last October was handed down a life sentence by Phuket Provincial Court yesterday (Dec 24), reports Ecns.cn, the official English-language website of China News Service (CNS).

 

The China News Service is the second largest state-owned news agency in China, after the Xinhua News Agency.

 

The tourist, Zhang Yifan, 32, from Tianjin, was initially charged with manslaughter after confessing to killing his wife, 29-year-old Zhang Jia, in a fit of rage at a luxury resort in Kamala on Oct 29 last year.

It was more to do with money.

 

"Zhang had bought multiple insurance policies amounting to more than 26 million yuan just months before the trip, with all of them listing him as the sole beneficiary,"

Why is he not executed??!!   What is wrong with this world??  Anyone who commits premeditative murder deserves to die and die quickly.

She had been insured to the hilt prior to the holiday, him being the sole beneficiary should she die.

Lucky boy he didn't do it in China, he would have got a bullet in the back of the head and quite rightly so.

"The murder charge is punishable by death, but the judge commuted the sentence to life imprisonment in consideration that Zhang acknowledged the killing in his final statement, reported Ecns."

Wonder how long he will have to stay in prison?

I wonder if they still make the next of kin pay for the bullet? I read they used to do that years ago in China.

won't china kill him after the fact anyway? They are going to want him back after he serves his time here no?

So now the "in thing" is to bring someone to Thailand to kill them? Wonder what the thought process was there....
