In 1994, a Chinese man was sentenced to 15 years in prison for attempted murder, the main victim of which was his wife. 11 years later, his “dead” wife suddenly returned, fully recovered and healthy, even married someone else and had children. This case became a sensation throughout China at the time.
Wife’s body in the pool
The incident began on the night of January 20, 1994 in Jingzhou, Hubei province, China. After a violent argument with her husband She Xianglin, Zhang Zaiyu ran away from home and never returned. Thinking that Zhang Zaiyu had no means of transportation and was sick, so he couldn’t go far, his family tried to look for Zhang Zaiyu everywhere but there was no trace.
Zhang Zaiyu is inherently mentally unstable, but his mental health is not due to birth, but has only been acquired in recent years.
When Zhang Zaiyu was nowhere to be found, the family became worried and alerted the police. However, the police did not find any clues. It wasn’t until 3 months later that a terrible thing happened. On the morning of April 11, 2014, a resident found something floating in the pond, and upon closer inspection, he was shocked to realize that it was a corpse.
The police immediately arrived and evacuated the body. After forensic examination, they concluded that this is the body of a woman, who has been dead for more than 2 months, 1m55 tall, about 30 years old, has given birth. However, due to being submerged in water for too long, his body swelled and rotted, so that his face could no longer be recognized.
The results of the forensic examination also showed that the woman accidentally fell into the water. The skull of the body has large cracks, indicating that it was hit in the head by a heavy blunt object. Most likely the victim was hit in the head, then the body was thrown into the pool for disposal.
Police immediately identified this as attempted murder and formed a task force to investigate. After considering the condition of the body as well as the surrounding factors, the police believe that the other body is that of Zhang Zaiyu due to very coincidental features. Zhang Zaiyu 31 years old, once gave birth to a girl, height 1m55, disappeared 3 months ago and has not been found.
The police then contacted Zhang Zaiyu’s family to confirm his identity. Since facial recognition was not possible, the police suggested doing a DNA test. However, at that time, DNA testing was very expensive, and Zhang Zaiyu’s family was poor and could not afford it. Seeing the incision in the body’s abdomen, the family confirmed that it was Zhang Zaiyu.
husband to be criminal kill wife
After confirming that the corpse was Zhang Zaiyu, the police immediately began investigating the murder and her husband She Xianglin soon became the prime suspect. It is known that She Xianglin and Zhang Zaiyu married in 1986 and have a daughter together. She Xianglin is a patrol officer security at the local police station and Zhang Zaiyu is a factory worker.
About 3 years before the case happened, She Xianglin had an affair with another woman and was arrested by his wife. Since then, the relationship in the family is no longer smooth. The two often fight, argue, even fight.
In the eyes of the villagers, Zhang Zaiyu was an obedient, gentle and agile person. However, due to her husband’s betrayal, plus the long-term conflict that made Zhang Zaiyu tense, many pent-up negative emotions led to madness. When he wakes up, he is still like a normal person but will occasionally have seizures and cannot control his behavior. When his illness got worse, Zhang Zaiyu would forget everything, even his own name or home address.
After investigation, the police found that the motive for She Xianglin’s murder was quite clear, so he was detained Criminal. After being interrogated, She Xianglin also officially confessed to killing his wife to get her master. He said that on the night of January 20, 1994, he took Zhang Zaiyu to the edge of the pool, hit him on the head with a rock, then pushed him into the pool and drowned. On June 15, 1998, Ms. She Xianglin was sentenced to 15 years in prison and deprived of her political rights for 15 years.
However, She Xianglin’s family couldn’t believe her son was killed. She Xianglin’s mother still believed that her daughter-in-law was still alive, even posting missing notices everywhere just to prove that Zhang Zaiyu was alive and her son had not committed a crime. This mother was even jailed for 9 months for causing trouble, then became deaf and mute. Just three months later, he died of depression. She Xianglin’s father also repeatedly begged to save his son but ended up having to give up because it was too expensive.
Not only that, She Xianglin and Zhang Zaiyu’s daughter, She Ronghua, also suffered all kinds of losses and hardships. She was treated badly at school because she was the daughter of a murderer whose victim was her mother. Many people don’t want to be friends with him, making him more quiet, not talking much. At the age of 14, She Ronghua had to drop out of school because she had no money and couldn’t stand the pressure. A family of 3 people who were in good health suddenly fell apart.
“The dead return” after 11 years
11 years after the incident, on March 28, 2005, a woman suddenly appeared in Kinh Chau, surprising everyone. As it turned out, this woman was actually Zhang Zaiyu. His “return from the dead” shocks the whole town and opens the story of the wrong case. So for the past 11 years, where has Zhang Zaiyu gone, why has he only appeared now?
It turned out that in 1994, after an argument with her husband, Zhang Zaiyu ran away from home. He had originally intended to go out to calm his anger, but suddenly had no money or papers with him, then had such a mental attack that he couldn’t remember his way back. Zhang Zaiyu became a beggar, went everywhere and somehow arrived in Shandong province. Here, she was adopted by a man, then married and had a child.
After getting married, Zhang Zaiyu’s health condition gradually improved but still couldn’t remember where his hometown was, only a very vague memory. It was not until 2005, when his health and memory had fully recovered, that Zhang Zaiyu decided to return to his hometown. Zhang Zaiyu himself did not expect that his disappearance would lead to a murder case, causing his ex-husband She Xianglin to be unfairly sentenced to 15 years.
Finally, in April 2005, Ms. She Xianglin was released after 11 years of unfair imprisonment. He was also compensated 700,000 yuan (more than 2.5 billion at the current exchange rate). However, the huge amount of money cannot cover the suffering of the last 11 years.
She Xianglin was very sad when she found out that her mother had died, and went to her grave to say that she had been cleansed. After being released from prison, She Xianglin also had difficulty adapting to a normal life, sleeping only 3 hours a day, so much so that she almost lost her eyesight and had to undergo surgery to regain her light.
