The death penalty was upheld in the second trial of the much-anticipated case of Wang Shujin, the suspected culprit in the Nie Shubin case. The court still has not been found that Wang Shujin is the real culprit in the Nie Shubin case.
On December 22, the second trial of the retrial case of Wang Shujin was pronounced, and he was sentenced to death for the crime of intentional homicide and rape. Wang Shujin insisted that he was the real murderer in the Nie Shubin case, which the court still has not determined.
Previously, on November 24, the Handan City Intermediate Court in Hebei Province handed down a verdict on Wang Shujin’s rape and murder case, which was remanded by the Supreme Court: Wang Shujin was sentenced to death for the crime of intentional homicide; he was sentenced to 15 years in prison for the crime of rape and decided to execute the death penalty.
After the verdict was announced, Wang Shujin appealed the verdict on the grounds that the court had not found him to be the real culprit in the Nie Shubin case.
In the trial, Wang Shujin insisted that he was responsible for the murder behind the Nie Shubin case, but the court did not find that he was responsible for the case. This is the main reason for Wang Shujin’s appeal, said Zhu Aimin, his lawyer.
The media said that Zhu Aimin met with Wang Shujin a day before the trial, and Wang Shujin said that if the original verdict is upheld in the second trial and he is not found to be the real killer in the Nie Shubin case, he will continue to appeal.
In 1994, a rape and murder case occurred in a cornfield in the western suburbs of Shijiazhuang. Nie Shubin was identified as the murderer and executed in May of the following year.
Wang Shujin’s hometown is Nansi Langgu Village in Guangping County, Handan City, Hebei Province. Wang Shujin had committed several rape and murder cases in his hometown, and one of the victims was less than 100 meters away from his home.
In early 2005, Wang Shujin was arrested in Xingyang, Henan Province. He confessed at Xingyang’s Suohe Road police station to four murders, including the 1994 rape and murder of a 38-year-old hydraulic factory worker in Shijiazhuang, but the “killer” in that case, Nie Shubin, had already been executed.
Wang Shujin’s defense lawyer Zhu Aimin said the police station in Henan only brought him in for questioning as a suspicious person during a New Year’s Eve security check. “The police station hardly put any pressure on him.”
What none of the police station officers expected was that Wang Shujin came forward in one night to confess to four murders and two rapes of his own. Zheng Chengyue, who had just joined the Public Security Bureau at the time, was one of the police officers handling the case.
The first police officer to investigate the case of Wang Shujin was Zheng Chengyue, who was also the first to disclose the “one case, two murderers” incident. 2005, he found that Wang Shujin’s confession was involved in the case of Nie Shubin “one case, two murderers”, several times contacted the Shijiazhuang police handling the case, but did not get a response. In 2005, he found out that Wang Shujin’s confession was involved in the “one case, two murders” case. Zheng Chengyue was then investigated by the higher disciplinary committee, and in 2009 he was forced to suspend his duties and retire early.
In 2007, the Handan Central Court sentenced Wang Shujin to death in the first instance for intentional homicide and rape.
On November 9, 2020, the Supreme Court remanded the case for retrial, and Wang Shujin was found guilty of raping four people and killing three others and sentenced to death. Wang Shujin later appealed his conviction on the grounds that the court had not found him to be the real culprit in the Nie Shubin case.
This time Wang Shujin was sentenced to death, but the court still did not find him to be the real murderer of Nie Shubin’s case, which once again caused netizens to criticize.
“The company has been able to tell the details of the crime, the dress and physical characteristics of the victim. The parties have admitted, why the court does not recognize?” “It is really Wang Shujin did, the court did not dare to identify, if identified, it is not proof of the previous is unjust case, the consequences are very serious!” “A large number of people are protected!”
According to mainland media reports, in 1995 when the Nie Shubin case, the Hebei public prosecutor’s office had objections, that Nie Shubin only oral confession without other evidence, and requested a change of sentence. It was Xu Yongyue, then secretary of the Communist Party’s Hebei Political and Legal Committee, who ordered that the case be “killed, and killed quickly. As a result, the second trial of Nie Shubin’s case was “filed at the provincial high court on April 20, 1995, and the trial was brought to trial on the 22nd, with the verdict issued on the 25th and the death penalty ordered on the 26th, and killed on the 27th.
According to sources familiar with the case, in 2005 Wang Shujin confessed to the “1994 Shijiazhuang West suburban corn field rape and murder case,” when the Nie Shubin case case department approached Xu Yongyue, then the Communist Party’s Minister of State Security, and it was Xu Yongyue who reportedly intervened to forcefully obstruct the case. The former Vice Minister of State Security Ma Jian, who had already fallen, was a close associate of Xu Yongyue, and Ma Jian was an ally of Zhang Yue, the former Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of the CPC Hebei Provincial Committee, so Zhang Yue tried to prevent the case from being vindicated.
In 2013, before the second trial of Wang Shujin’s case in Handan, Hebei authorities took strong measures to force Wang Shujin to retract his confession. Wang Shujin was transferred from Guangping County Detention Center to Magnet County Detention Center, “when Zhang Yue sat directly in Handan and stayed for three days, guiding Wang Shujin’s second trial from the sidelines”. The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.
