"As long as I am alive, I will always appeal." This is the only belief of 74-year-old Zhang, who has been in prison for 23 years.

Zhang Man is a party to a murder case. 1997, the Intermediate People's Court of Dali City, Yunnan Province sentenced Zhang Man to life imprisonment for intentional homicide.

Zhang Man was released on March 20 19 18 after several commutation.

I did this, so please sentence me to death. I didn't do it. I must clarify. "Zhang Man told us a lot about this case.

Zhang Man was born in Dui Village, Qiliqiao Township, Dali, a beautiful village near Erhai Lake and at the foot of Cangshan Mountain. He joined the army and later became a private teacher and worker. 1977 became the general secretary of the village party branch. 1became the village head in July 1994.

1989 12 16 in the early morning, something happened in the village. Wang, a 28-year-old villager, and his family were found dead at home. His wife Zhao Fang was killed in the bedroom on the second floor. His son Wang Gaoneng (7 years old) and his daughter Wang Gaotian (4 years old) were also hacked to death, while Wang's body was found in a yard and died of an open head injury.

There are two sets of chopsticks, two cups and unfinished food on the table. There is a bloody handprint on the east wall of the bedroom. According to the forensic autopsy, the murder happened on the night of 14. It was discovered by 16.

News of the massacre spread like wildfire. When the public security organ came to investigate the case, hundreds of people gathered outside the yard. Everyone wants to know who is responsible for this terrible murder.

Dali police have done a lot of work in case investigation and investigated a large number of criminal suspects. Beijing technical investigation experts who gave lectures in Yunnan also came to the scene. However, no concrete results have been achieved.

Five years have passed in an instant. 1994 65438+On February 20th, Zhang Man's family is going to get married at a relative's house 4 kilometers away. Gan Fan, then the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Dali Public Security Bureau, and others talked with him.

Zhang Man recalled: "They said, Secretary Zhang, we have something to ask you. They suddenly grabbed my arm in the car and handcuffed me. "

Zhang was taken to the Interpol Brigade, and the police admitted to killing Wang.

Zhang Man recalled that he ate at home and went to bed after watching TV. He didn't go out, and he is unlikely to kill anyone. His wife and children can testify for him.

Zhang Man repeatedly told Gan Fan and other policemen that he was innocent and that the Wangs were killed by a disciplined family.

Anyone who curses will push other policemen and hit me with fists, handcuffs, plastic sticks and belts. He made my head, mouth and ears bleed. Then he soaked the blood and wiped it off with toilet paper. "

But Zhang Zhijun said he pleaded not guilty. He said: "They take my wife and son for example, saying that I can stand it, but my wife and son may not be able to stand it."

Zhang said that only then did he know that his wife and children had been sent to detention centers and shelters. He said, "I didn't want to give them any trouble, so I confessed my crime on the 28th."

This is all the evidence in this case and Zhang Man's only confession. Zhang said that he made the above statement based on what he saw at the scene and his "reasonable" imagination.

I had a problem with villager Wang Shiming, so I decided to kill his son Wang. That night 10, he came to Wang's house in red sportswear, size 39 spikes and gloves. After Wang Ji opened the door, I handed a cigarette first, then stoned Wang Ji, and then went upstairs and killed his wife and children with a hoe. I hit him with a hoe first, then with a kitchen knife. I usually wear size 43 shoes, and size 39 shoes are too small, so I have to cut the heel short. After committing the crime, the murder weapon was thrown into Erhai Lake by me. I have been preparing for this revenge for six years.

Zhang's people said that in his first confession, he said "use the knife first, then use the hoe", but the police officer reminded him "use the hoe first, then use the knife", so I said that according to their meaning, I would use the hoe and then use the knife. "The general account is consistent with the scene, and the interrogators allow me to drink water to eat. I saved my life. "

After the confession, on February 28th, 12, Zhang Man was finally sent to the detention center, put on shackles and shaved his hair. Nevertheless, Zhang Man still feels that he is out of hell.

"Three months later, Gan Fan came to the detention center to ask me, and let me tell you what I did again." Zhang Man said that he was killed this time and said nothing. "I said I didn't do it. Gan Fan is very angry.

They once again restricted the personal freedom of Zhang Man's wife and children. On March 28th and 29th, 1996, Zhang Yinfeng, the son of Zhang Man, and Zhang Yuji, the wife of Zhang Man (for intentional homicide and obstruction of investigation respectively) were arrested and detained again. This level is the highest in six months. It was not until June 165438+ 10 that the two men were "released".

1On March 26th, 997, after Zhang Man was detained for more than two years, Dali Intermediate People's Court held a public hearing on suspicion of intentional homicide.

The verdict shows that after trial, it was found that the defendant had a grudge against the villager Wang Shiming, which led to the evil idea of punishing Wang, the eldest son who killed Wang. 12, 14, 1998 night, sneaked into Wang's disciplinarian's house, knocked him down and dumped his body while Wang was unprepared. After killing Wong Kar-wai's wife Zhao, son Wang Gaoneng and queen Gao Tianhou, she fled the scene.

Forensic identification shows that the victim Wang died of a large area of open craniocerebral injury due to a sharp head cut. The victim, Zhao, died of a head injury and a sharp cut on his neck. The victims Wang Gaoneng and Wang Gaotian both died of neck cutting.

According to the verdict, Zhang Man's method of killing is particularly cruel, the circumstances are particularly serious and the society is extremely harmful. According to the law, it should be given a heavier punishment, but considering the actual situation of the case, it should be given a lighter punishment. Zhang Man was convicted of intentional homicide, sentenced to life imprisonment and deprived of political rights for life; Supplementary civil liability compensation for Wang Shiming's economic loss is RMB 6,000.

This judgment is not satisfied with the Dali People's Procuratorate, the public prosecution agency and the defendant Zhang Man.

Zhang Man did not appeal against murder or extorting a confession by torture. Dali City People's Procuratorate said that Zhang must be severely punished for intentional homicide. Appeal.

The footprints found at the scene are about size 39 shoes, while Zhang Man wears size 43 shoes, so there is no reason for big feet to wear small shoes. The blood on the fingers and palms found at the scene was identified as not left by Zhang Man. Zhang Yin, Zhang Man's son, once said that his white shirt turned into a blood shirt, but he was only 15 years old at that time, and the picture was small, so it was impossible for Zhang Man to wear a shirt to submit a crime, and the "witness" did not say that he saw Zhang Man wearing a white shirt to submit a crime.

The High Court did not disclose the identities of these two "witnesses" until the second trial. They are Yang Ruzhou and Zhang Shuangshe, both of whom live near the Wang family. Zhang Man's home is separated by only two houses. Just turn a corner, and the distance is less than 100 meters. They publicly denied witnessing Zhang Man's murder on 20 15.

Zhang Shuangshe said that perjury was forced out by public security personnel. "They asked me every day, and I said I didn't see or hear anything. The police said that someone said you took it (saw it), so you must say it. I told them that they arrested me, put me in prison 17 days and took my father away. I had to make up a story based on their tips and a tape full of confessions. " Zhang Shuangshe confessed to Ah Quan that she was forced to commit perjury. According to police clues and a recording of Ah Quan's confession, she fabricated everything Ah Quan saw.

Witness that Yang Ruzhou's position is lower than Yuji's, and you can't directly look at Yuji from Yang's family or family. Zhang said that he offended the Yang family because of his official behavior. Yang's wife was arrested in the "beating" and he reported the case. Because of his resentment against himself, Yang became a "witness to murder".

Zhao Tichang, another unidentified witness, said: "I was also forced by the public security department." 1994 was also sent to the detention center on February 28th on suspicion of murder, and was not released from prison until July 28th 1995. He was ashamed of perjury. "When the police asked me questions a few years ago, if I answered' I don't know',' I don't know' or' I don't remember', I would slap myself." My face is swollen. My left ear is still deaf. "

The inconsistency of evidence does not affect the judgment of the case. 1September 199914th, Yunnan Higher People's Court finally ruled that the appeal was rejected and the original judgment was upheld.

At that time, if there was conclusive evidence to prove that four people were killed, the murderer would definitely not live. In addition, the defendant Zhang Man did not plead guilty and was sentenced to death. If he does not plead guilty, he will only be sentenced to life imprisonment. They should be the clearest in their hearts!

Therefore, after the judgment came into effect, Zhang Man began to serve his sentence in the Second Prison of Yunnan Province.

There are always some kind people in the world. what can I say? On the second day of the Spring Festival before the court decision, Zhang's wife received an anonymous letter suspected to be from the police.

"Yuqi Zhang, your husband Zhang Man has been detained for a long time. As an insider and sympathizer, I think this is illegal. In this case, because there is no other evidence, Gan Fan, the main person handling the case, has been transferred, and the leaders of the Public Security Bureau have different opinions. Nobody dares to take over and continue to do it. In this case, I'll give your family an idea, hoping not to tell anyone. Zhang Man can be released as soon as possible and restore his reputation. "

There are two viewpoints mentioned: one is the explanation of the long-term illegal detention and attraction by the main responsible persons of Dali public security bureau and government, and the other is the fact that the municipal government, the provincial civil aviation public security bureau and Dali airport are accused of extorting confessions by torture. At the end of the article, it is also mentioned that we should pay close attention to reflection and appeal, and have confidence and perseverance.

At that time, I reported the case to the public security organ. On the other hand, Zhang Man, who is serving his sentence in prison, insists that he is innocent.

On April 10, 2000, Zhang Man appealed to the Supreme People's Court in prison, but no reply was received.

On 2002 10 and 2 1 day, Yunnan Higher People's Court rejected the appeal and upheld the original judgment.

Zhang's sentence was later reduced from life imprisonment to 19 years, and his sentence was commuted twice.

On October 2011September17th, 66-year-old Zhang Man was released on parole for hypertension, heart disease, liver disease and other diseases.

2065438+In March 2005, Zhang Man appealed to the Yunnan Provincial High Court again, but the court refused to accept his appeal.

On March 18, 20 19, the reporter Zhang served his sentence.

On May 30th, 20 18, the Provincial People's Procuratorate inquired about Zhang Man and intervened in the case.

His left shoulder was covered with the word "injustice", and he said that he would take it to die with him.

Now, Zhang Man, he has a word "revenge" on his left shoulder and a word "revenge" on his right shoulder. This was carved by his cellmate with a sewing needle when he was in the 1995 detention center.
