Man arrested for abusing wife
    2019-07-05  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A MAN identified by his surname Li was recently arrested by the Longhua District Procuratorate for repeatedly abusing his wife, leading to the woman’s suicide, according to the Shenzhen Special Zone Daily.

Li was said to be the city’s first suspect arrested on a charge of criminal maltreatment.

Li married his second wife surnamed Ma in 1994, but the couple did not have their own child. Over the years, Ma took care of Li and his first wife’s kid.

When Li came to Shenzhen for a job, Ma stayed in their hometown looking after the child like her own offspring, and the kid regarded her as a biological mother.

Unfortunately, Li would always beat Ma at home, especially after Ma eventually came to join him in Shenzhen. The woman usually chose to endure the abuse in silence.

Confronted by the police, Li promised that he would no longer beat his wife. Among the incidents, it was twice confirmed by medical examiners that Ma had suffered multiple soft tissue injuries to the head, left ear, face, legs and arms.

Without having children or a job, and living in an unfamiliar environment, Ma literally had no say in the family and could do nothing to influence her husband, even when she discovered that he had cheated on her.

On May 23 this year, Li once again violently beat Ma after coming home from work. Following this round of abuse, Ma was found foaming at the mouth in her room with a bottle of pesticide on the ground next to her. Li suddenly realized that Ma must have ingested the toxin, which she had borrowed from her brother on the excuse of needing to kill mosquitoes.

Li immediately took Ma to the hospital and informed her brother. However, after pumping Ma’s stomach, the doctors told them that her condition was beyond rescue. Ma was pronounced dead the next day.

Li was detained by the police on May 25 and later arrested on a charge of domestic violence.
