In November 2021, a shocking case shocked society. Zhang Mouyu, an auxiliary police officer who had only been married for 55 days, had a mental illness attack and actually killed his wife Xiaoyang, slashing her 49 times in a row, resulting in her death. This case is not only distressing, but has also sparked extensive public discussion on mental illness and criminal responsibility, as well as the recruitment criteria for auxiliary police officers.
The victim, Xiaoyang, a 29-year-old woman from Tianjin, had a stable career and income, and her life was supposed to be full of hope and happiness. However, fate played a cruel joke on her. After being introduced, she met Zhang Mouyu, an auxiliary police officer with an honest appearance and decent work. But no one thought that this seemingly ordinary man would suffer from mental illness.
On the night of the incident, Zhang Mouyu stopped the drugs for the treatment of mental illness without authorization, which led to a seizure of the disease, and then brutally murdered Xiaoyang. A young life withered in a pool of blood like this, which makes people sigh.
In the first-instance verdict, Zhang Mouyu was sentenced to death, with a two-year reprieve, and restrictions on commutation. At the same time, he also needs to compensate Xiaoyang's parents 47,514 yuan. However, such a verdict did not quell the anger and grief of the victims' families. They believe that although Zhang Mouyu suffers from mental illness, he stopped taking medicine without authorization, causing the onset of illness and committing a crime, and should bear full criminal responsibility.
Just four days later, on April 26, the victim's mother reacted swiftly and filed a formal appeal with the court.
In addition, the case has also raised questions about the recruitment criteria of auxiliary police officers. Zhang Mouyu's status as an auxiliary police officer allowed his mental illness to be hidden. People can't help but ask: In the process of recruiting auxiliary police, did the public security organs conduct a strict and proper review of the mental health status of the relevant personnel?
This tragic murder of the newlyweds not only brought untold suffering to the victims' families, but also triggered in-depth attention and extensive discussions in the society on the definition of the criminal responsibility capacity of patients with mental illness, the recruitment standards of auxiliary police, and the review of mental health. We hope that the judicial authorities will be able to further investigate this case, give a fair account to the victims' families, and give a clear answer to society.

The editor wants to say: Regarding this case of the newlywed auxiliary police officer killing his wife, I personally think it is really too tragic. What do you think, Xiaoyang, this girl is only 29 years old, has a stable job, and her life should be good, but because she found a husband with mental illness, she died in the end. To be honest, this kind of thing is really hard to accept.
Speaking of this Zhang Mouyu, although he has mental illness, this does not become an excuse for him to evade legal sanctions. You see, he fell ill after stopping the medicine, and then stabbed his wife 49 times, what a cruel act! I think that even if he is sick, he has to be responsible for his own actions.
In addition, I have to talk about the recruitment of this auxiliary police officer. You say, how can the public security organs allow a person with mental illness to become an auxiliary policeman? Isn't this a time bomb planted in society? I think that when we hire public officials in the future, we really have to check their mental condition, otherwise this kind of thing may happen again.
Why is a human life worth 47,000? Personally, I don't really understand.
Overall, I think this case is really painful. I hope the court can give a fair verdict and give Xiaoyang and her family an explanation. At the same time, it is also hoped that this case will draw attention to mental illness and the recruitment standards of public officials, so as to avoid similar tragedies from happening again.
