Chinese murderer holds banquet outside victim’s home after 20 years in jail, angers family
Videos show a car arriving at a rural courtyard as guests enter amid firecracker sounds, creating a festive atmosphere
A convicted murderer in China ignited significant online outrage after celebrating his release from a 20-year prison sentence with a lavish banquet and firecrackers right outside the victim’s home.
This provocative act was brought to light through a series of videos on Douyin by the victim’s son, known online as “Kailiang Rensheng”, whose surname is Xiang. He hails from Mianyang, Sichuan province in southwestern China.
Xiang revealed that at the age of 15, he lost his father to a brutal murder orchestrated by three killers hired by their neighbour.
His father, just 39 and on the verge of starting his career, was murdered in his bedroom, and his body was set ablaze with petrol to destroy evidence.
Xiang never saw his father’s remains, as his family shielded him from the trauma. Following the murder, they also faced threats and surveillance from the killers.
In response to online speculation regarding his father’s involvement in unethical activities, Xiang clarified that the murder stemmed from a dispute among his father’s relatives and the mastermind behind the crime.
