In a shocking incident, a man in China killed his two young children so that he could start a ‘new family.’ The accused allegedly killed them by throwing them out of his high rise building in Chongqing municipality area.
The incident took place in November last year and the accused, Zhang Bo was detained after a month since then.
He has been charged with murder and he will appear in front of the court this month.
The motive behind the alleged murders of his two kids – one-year-old son and two-year-old daughter – was his girlfriend’s reluctance to marry him with the two around.
Zhang’s girlfriend, Ye Chengchen, reportedly didn’t want him to have kids of his own blood.
Zhang’s ex-wife confirmed the same and further claimed that she had pressurised the man by cutting her own wrists in a suicide attempt.
Ye was also charged with murder and was arrested.
The two young kids were thrown from the window of the 14th floor of a residential building. The kids landed on a lawn and died.
Zhang was not initially suspected and it was considered as an accident. He had claimed that he was asleep when it all happened and woke up after he heard people shouting downstairs.
But he later admitted before the police that both he and his girlfriend has plotted the murder. The also revealed the motive: they wanted to have their own family without any kids from his former marriage, as per the indictment.
Zhang started a romantic relationship with Ye, in 2019, when he was still married. However, last year he divorced his wife and reached an agreement that Chen would raise their daughter, while he would raise their son until he was 6 years.
The little girl was also invited to her father’s place to play with her brother the day before they died. On that day, when Zhang’s mum left home, the accused held both his kids and threw them out of the window.
