From Sina Weibo:

@?: In the Henan province Zhoukou city judge Gao Tianfeng and daughter murder case, on the list of names given to the hired killers, which included the parents and the older sister, the offered price was 200,000 [RMB] per person. What was fortunate was that the mother happened to not be at home that day and escaped the calamity. What makes this a tragedy is that in order to protect her younger brother that day, the older sister reverse-locked him in a room [so the killers could not get in], not knowing even as she was murdered that the hired killers were employed by her younger brother.

Henan Judge Murdered By Son’s Hired Killers: Mother Not At Home Escaped Tragedy



Gao Tianfeng
In the Henan Zhoukou city Intermediate Court Committee member Gao Tianfeng and daughter murder case, two assassins were hired by his own son, with the case disturbing the entire nation. On the morning of May 16th, the final suspect was arrested within the borders of Loudi [a city in Hunan]. On the afternoon of May 17th, this reporter learned even more details regarding this case from the the Hunan province Ministry of Public Security, that the 3 names on the list that Gao Tianfeng’s son gave the hired killers were actually those of his own father, mother, and elder sister, and the offering price was “200,000 RMB per person”.

What was fortunate was that the mother happened to not be at home on the day of the crime, luckily escaping the tragedy. After the hired killers infiltrated Gao Tianfeng’s home, they committed the murders. What makes people sign is that the elder sister, in order to protect her younger brother, had reverse-locked him inside a room. Even as she was killed, she did not know that the hired killers were actually employed by her own younger brother.

Suspect entered Hunan, many cities and prefectures mobilized police forces

May 17th afternoon, Hunan Provincial Ministry of Public Security Criminal Investigation Department Serious Crimes Section Captain Zhang Jiancheng explained that after 2pm in the afternoon of May 15th, the Henan Provincial Ministry of Public Security and the Henan Zhoukou Municipal Public Security Bureau dispatched someone to hand the case over to the Hunan Provincial Ministry of Public Security, that “the third suspect has already entered Hunan”.

Beginning from when they received the request for assistance, the Provincial Ministry of Public Security Vice Department Chief Hu Xuxi mobilized police forces to work with Henan police an organized a special joint-task force. According to information on the suspects provided by Henan police (including surname and physical characteristics), Hunan police employed multiple tracking methods and, through the use of rapid investigative deployment and technology, found that the suspects had one after another appeared before in places such as Changde, Yiyang, Changsha, Loudi [cities in Hunan], and that the roads they were taking were all national highways, provincial highways, and even county and town roads.

The special task force determined that the suspects may be fleeing towards Guangxi province along the peripheries of the Loudi, Shaoyang, Huaihua cities, and that the roads they were taking were easy for them to remain concealed. By 5pm in the afternoon, the Loudi and Shaoyang county cities had already deployed a “large net”, establishing a dense area of control.

Around 2am on the morning of May 16th, police discovered a motorcycle traveling relatively quickly on the S225 provincial highway and immediately began following it. Several hours later, Wu X was intercepted and arrested at a gas filling station on the side of the Xinhua county Yangxi town S312 provincial highway. “He was very cunning and before being caught, had discovered that police were following him, and tried to flee,” said Zhang Jiancheng.

Killer has wife and child, no previous criminal record

After Wu X was captured, Hunan police subjected him to intense interrogation, whereby he disclosed details to the case:

Before the crime occurred, Gao Tianfeng’s son and suspect Zhang X had known each other for several months, but had never met in person. Zhang X claimed to be a hit man, so Gao Tianfeng’s son said to them, “I want to kill several people, 200,000 RMB each”. The list of people to die that Gao Tianfeng’s son made had three people, “his own father, mother, and elder sister”.

“At present, the motive we have is as the Henan media previous reported, that his family’s disciplining of him was too strict, making him resentful,” Zhang Jiancheng said. Zhang X soon afterward found his friend Wu X to discuss, willing to take this “business”.

May 9th, Zhang X and Wu X met up in Henan Luoyang. Early morning on May 12th, in accordance with Gao Tianfeng’s son’s secret instructions, the two climbed over the wall and entered Gao Tianfeng’s home, and murdered Gao Tianfeng and his daughter. Because Gao Tianfeng’s wife was not at home that day, she luckily avoided this tragic fate.

“Previously, there were media reports claiming that Gao Tianfeng’s daughter, in order to protect her younger brother, had reverse-locked her younger brother in a room.” Zhang Jiancheng says this detail is true, “She (Gao Tianfeng’s daughter) had absolutely no idea that the hit men had actually been called over by her younger brother.”

After Zhang X and Wu X committed the murders, the two of them ransacked Gao Tianfeng’s house of hundreds of thousands in cash and property before fleeing towards Luoyang where they divided the spoils. After Wu X took 50,000 in cash, the two split up to flee separately.

“After catching Wu X, he still had 17,000 yuan cash on him, with most of the money spent on transportation and buying a motorcycle,” said Zhang Jiancheng, “He even had a small traffic accident on his way, which cost him a few thousand kuai.”

As it is understood, 25-year-old Wu X has a wife and child, and previously had no criminal record, had worked in a KTV before, and was unemployed prior to the crime.

What on earth went through his head, to hire hit men to murder his own family?  For someone to even think of such an evil act, he must be deranged? Just because he felt that he was being disciplined too strictly? If that is reason enough to put him into KILL mode, we would have all the children up in arms against their parents, teachers, coaches, etc.

Oh .. he is not aware of 

The five heinous crimes

The five heinous crimes (mtshams-med lnga) are (a) killing our fathers, (b) mothers, or (c) an arhat (a liberated being), (d) with bad intentions drawing blood from a Buddha, or (e) causing a split in the monastic community.

[sonamdhargey]

First of all by moral values of a country as a whole cannot be based on this incident alone. It is mind boggling that a person have the motivation to kill his entire family. Based on the report stating that the family was too strict to him that create resentment in him that motivated him to kill his entire family is somewhat not plausible. If it is really the reason for him to do such things, then he is either insane or he has really have lost all goodness and humanity in him. Dharma is important. It should be thought in a very young age to prevent such actions to harm others especially the people we call family.

I am just as surprised that no one here thinks that this guy could be possessed ! LOL ! Well , i believe so , how else could a person do that to his own family ? Okay , other than being deranged or mad , but this does not rule out that he could be possessed . Most serial killers are convicted after medical diagnosis but never based on spiritual possessions , as it is not recognized as a scientific field . Most are convicted even though they believe that some voices or unseen beings instructed or even forced them to murder. So , i believed that many of these so called " mad " killers could be left untreated of their afflictions .

If the parents were strict on the kids, the sister reverse locked him into a room knowing trouble was coming.A sister who only loves her brother more than herself would do that.
Buddhist doctrines hold non-violence and compassion.for all life in high regard.The first precept of B requires individuals to abstain from inuring or killing all living beings.
If he really did have them assasinated and couldn't see how his family cared for him.he deserves the punishment

[yontenjamyang]

Benny, what makes you think that Gao Tianfeng is not possessed? At the very least, he is possessed by the Maras of attachment, anger and ignorance; so severe that he murdered his own family. There cannot be any act more selfish and there cannot be any act more ignorant. The motive of the murders according to the article is because of "his family’s disciplining of him was too strict, making him resentful"; the worldly ignorance is that one will not get away from such things as proven in this case; but on a more spiritual level, that will be karma involved. And I think karma is probably the furthest from him mind.

The moral of this case is that samsara is such a farce. Son murdering father and sister.

[rossoneri]

What a disturb person he is to be able to commit such an act. But in another angle i can't help but kept on thinking what would the son of the judge Gao Tianfeng had gone thru until he would commit such and evil and inhuman act by hiring someone in order to kill his family? Why would a person will be able to do that? Has he being tortured mentally or simply he was too spoilt from young and now if he doesn't get what he is expecting which normally the parents will gave in as a result, hiring gunmen to kill his family. What kind of karma does this family had before resulted this very disturbing act?

[kris]

China is booming really fast and people are not getting the balance of spiritual and hectic lifestyle, pressure, etc... China government should really put in the effort to promote spirituality. It has been said that building a temple is better than building 100 police stations, and I strongly believe this statement. Usually when a person reach police station, the crime has already been carried out, but a temple stops the crime from happening in the first place.

I do understand that China is still implementing communism and that China is still worry that another Fa Lun Gong will rise and threaten the power of China Communist Party, but China really need to start educating people about being fair, being accountable, etc..

I would say that he did what he did for money and also because he is too spoiled. There is also a possibility that he is suffering mentally which is why he did such an act. However, the fact remains that he is not remorseful with his actions and that shows that society has failed to educate him in a way that what he has done is wrong and that he should realize it by now because the society around him is a contributing factor of what he has done. In other words, the cultural and moral decay of China has gone to this level due to the lack of religion to educate and tame their minds.
