Xiong Zhicheng, the murderer of the Zhejiang University girl murder case, was executed. What did the victim’s family say?

Xiong Zhicheng, the murderer of the Zhejiang University girl murder case, was executed on July 28, 2020. The victim's family said he would further file a lawsuit against Hangzhou Feilaifeng Scenic Area. ?I can give up the compensation, but ask Feilaifeng Scenic Area to publicly apologize to me and rectify the relevant management defects. If there were no management flaws in the scenic spot, the murderer would not choose this place to attack.

Case Review

On November 13, 2018, a female undergraduate from Zhejiang University returned to China from studying in the UK and was killed while traveling to Feilaifeng Scenic Area in Hangzhou. The murderer, Xiong Zhicheng, had incurred gambling debts due to gambling before the incident. Because he was unable to repay, he became world-weary. On the day of the incident, Xiong Zhicheng came to Feilaifeng Scenic Area, met a girl from Zhejiang University, molested the girl, and finally killed her.

After the incident, Xiong Zhicheng was arrested in Guilin, Guangxi on November 17, 2018. According to his confession, after he wanted to commit suicide, he wanted to find someone to die with. So he went to Feilaifeng Scenic Area many times to look for the crime target. On the day of the crime, he met a girl from Zhejiang University. He then stabbed the deceased several times, pushed her down a steep slope, and then went down the steep slope to molest the girl. After the girl begged for mercy, he killed her.

Sentenced to death

On July 26, 2019, Xiong Zhicheng was sentenced to death by the court for intentional homicide and forced indecency. Xiong Zhicheng subsequently appealed against the verdict. On November 11 of the same year, the court rejected his appeal and upheld the original verdict. Xiong Zhicheng was executed on July 28, 2020.

The family will sue Feilaifeng Scenic Area

The family believes that there are deficiencies in the management of the scenic area, so the perpetrators have the opportunity to take action. He does not need compensation from the scenic spot, but he must make a public apology and make rectifications to the scenic spot. Whether the scenic spot is at fault remains to be determined by the court.

Since Xiong Zhicheng was already ready to commit suicide, why did he still find someone to back him up and hurt innocent people? Why appeal after being sentenced? It would be better to die at once.
