A boy in Jingzhou Gong’an County, Hubei Province, mainland China, had an argument with a 4-year-old girl next door. Unexpectedly, he dragged the girl to a vegetable garden 400 meters away, choked her unconscious, and then threw the girl into a nearby latrine and covered it with a wooden board. drowned. The father of the murdered girl recently revealed that he received a “decision to withdraw the case” from the police on the grounds that the murderer was under 12 years old, which he found difficult to accept. In this regard, the local police confirmed that the case has been withdrawn and the boy responsible is currently receiving psychological correction.
According to comprehensive reports from mainland Chinese media, the family members of the deceased said that in August last year, the boy coaxed his daughter to go to a vegetable garden regarding 400 meters away from home to commit violence. He first strangled the girl’s neck until she was unconscious, and then dragged her to a latrine house and threw the child in. After that, he threw more than 20 bricks into the pit, and before leaving, he also covered the mouth of the tank with a tic-shaped wooden block to hide it, because there was excrement water remaining in the tank, which eventually caused his daughter to drown.
The girl’s father, Zheng Nan, pointed out that the reason for the boy’s violence was that his daughter and his sister had many arguments regarding toys. “When the criminal investigation told us this reason at the time, we mightn’t accept it. After all, it is normal for children to quarrel, but This boy’s desire to make my daughter disappear has lasted for more than a year. It’s hard for me to believe it, and I can’t believe it.”

The family members said helplessly, “It’s hard for me to imagine that a 12-year-old boy has such a thoughtful mind, and such a vicious crime modus operandi and bad temper. It’s simply outrageous.” However, because the boy was under 12 years old and had no criminal responsibility, he was exempted from the crime. The local public security bureau withdrew the case, “From a legal perspective, I respect the law and it is irrefutable. As a father, I cannot understand or accept it. I may not be able to accept this result for the rest of my life.”
The case caused an uproar, and many experts in the legal field and criminal investigation took the initiative to contact the girl’s father and expressed their willingness to provide help. The father of the deceased responded sadly, “This is the first time that this incident has attracted so much attention since it happened, but I am not happy because she is gone. I really didn’t consider any appeals or anything like that. I feel in my heart now.” And I only have this result in my mind (the boy involved withdraws the lawsuit), I really can’t accept it.”
Mr. Zheng said that he gradually learned regarding the relevant legal provisions following the incident, and also learned that under the current legal background, it is difficult for minors under the age of 12 to be held criminally responsible for their illegal and criminal acts. But as a father, he felt very wronged and unfair. “I respect the law, but emotionally, I cannot accept that the person who killed my daughter so cruelly cannot be held criminally responsible. We do not accept each other’s apology. It is always difficult for me.” Accepting this fact, we hope to wait until things turn around.”
