A father who killed two children for the sake of a new girlfriend was executed in China (4 photos)
This terrible story happened back in November 2020.
It all started when Zhang Bo started a relationship with Ye Chengchen in 2019 while he was still married to Chen Meilin. In February 2020, E got her lover to divorce his wife. But two children - a 2.5-year-old girl and a one-year-old boy - became a hindrance; after the divorce, he continued to communicate with them.
But Ye Chengchen was categorically against babies, claiming that they would become an obstacle to a happy family life, and the girl’s parents were against her future husband having children from another woman. Well, to make Zhang Bo more motivated, she threatened to open her wrists if dad didn’t get rid of his children.
Zhang Bo couldn’t think of anything better than throwing his children from the 15th floor from the window of his apartment when he was alone with them. As a result of the fall, the boy died instantly, the girl died later in the hospital. To make everything as natural as possible, the unfortunate dad sobbed and banged his head against the wall, claiming that it was all an accident. And he himself was allegedly asleep during the tragedy. But later to the police, Zhang confessed that the murder was planned by himself and his mistress.
After seven months of proceedings, the court found the couple guilty and sentenced them to death. The scoundrels appealed, but the court upheld the death sentence at a retrial in May last year. The sentence was carried out last Wednesday, January 31.
