CCTV News:Driving a luxury car and living in a spacious house, who would have thought that behind a glamorous family, the price was a woman’s miserable life for nine years. Recently, Chongqing police found a domestic violence case and rescued a woman who was illegally detained by her husband.
An alarm message reveals her husband’s evil deeds.
On March 16, 2017, the duty room of Shapingba police station suddenly received a short message alarm from the command center of the municipal bureau. The content of the short message was very strange: help me, I am now under control and coerced to engage in fraud, involving hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The police initially thought it was a pyramid scheme. The policeman indicated his detailed address at the end of the message, and the police quickly rushed to the incident site. What the police didn’t expect, however, was that this incident was worse than illegal detention through pyramid schemes — — What appeared in front of the police was a girl handcuffed to the computer.
The woman was pale, her left foot was locked by anklets, and she dared not speak. There are many QQ and WeChat chat interfaces on the computer screen.
There was also a man at the scene. He said that he and the girl were husband and wife. Because they quarreled, they were afraid that she would run, so they locked them on the stool.
In front of the police, the man took out the ankle key and opened the lock for the woman. The woman looked very scared and told the police in a low voice that she was abused.
Police:Hit you with this stick?
Woman:Hmm.
Police:He hit it with this stick. Is it hurt?
Woman:Yes.
In the victim’s home, the police also found handcuffs, anklets and other items. The police brought the two back to the police station for further investigation.
The woman was imprisoned by her husband for 9 years and coerced to cheat online.
In the police station, the alarm woman told the whole story with tears, and a sensational story gradually surfaced.
In 2008, 20-year-old Zhang Xue (a pseudonym) went to work in Shanghai from her hometown of Zhongxian, and met Chen Hua (a pseudonym). They soon became boyfriend and girlfriend. After a period of contact, Zhang Xue found that Chen Hua had a bad temper and was very selfish, so she broke up. But Chen Hua didn’t agree, and several people rushed to her rental house to beat her.
In desperation, Zhang Xue chose to endure, but did not expect that this endurance was a dark life for 9 years. Soon, Zhang Xue became pregnant, and under the coercion of Chen Hua, they got married. Zhang Xueben thought that Chen Hua’s temper would be restrained when she had a child. Unexpectedly, he intensified and dragged her onto the road of telecom fraud.
Zhang Xue:He asked me to cheat others on the Internet. At first, I didn’t know how to chat with others. He was chatting and typing, and the video was pointed at me. Later, he taught me how to chat. At first, I was very nervous. As soon as I said something wrong, he called me with a fist.
"Deception indicators" can’t be beaten by husbands.
Chen Hua, who has no job, gives Zhang Xue "business indicators" every day. If he can’t cheat the specified amount every day, he will be beaten. In order to force Zhang Xue to complete his "performance", Chen Hua’s violence also began to escalate, using various tools.
Zhang Xue:Hit with clothes hangers, wires, baseball bats, wooden sticks, screwdrivers and vises, whatever you can.
Chen Hua stipulates that he must cheat 4,000 to 5,000 every day. One day, Zhang Xue didn’t cheat money, but he took a knife and cut off her little finger.
Reporter:The direct knife was cut off?
Zhang Xue:Yes, there’s only one skin left, and now I’m unconscious in front.
Reporter:Besides this kind of injury, what other injuries are there?
Zhang Xue:This hand was also cut by him with a knife, and so was this place. After knowing him, I was hurt all over my body.
Unable to stand the beating, Zhang Xue began to cheat money online according to Chen Hua’s request, from one or two hundred yuan at the beginning to thousands later.
In order to prevent his telecom fraud from being exposed, in 2016, Chen Hua moved to Chongqing with Zhang Xue and her daughter, and installed a camera at home to monitor Zhang Xue’s every move with her mobile phone.
Zhang Xue:My record of transferring money to him on WeChat is at least 500,000, and he said that he played games with the money. I don’t want to lie to others.
Reporter:Does your child know every time he hits you?
Zhang Xue:The child is here, and the child says, mom, you are so poor. She can’t tell lies, but only do things. She said, mom, you’d better go and do something. I don’t want dad to hit you.
The wife couldn’t bear to call the police and the husband was detained.
The victim thought that her forbearance could make her husband change, but she didn’t expect her husband to treat her more severely, which made her finally summon up the courage to call the police.
In February of this year, Chen Hua bought handcuffs and anklets to lock Zhang Xue in order to let Zhang Xue continue to cheat him. This lock is a month, and it has also become the fuse for Zhang Xue to decide to resist Chen Hua. Zhang Xue quietly collected evidence of Chen Hua’s illegal detention and forcing her to commit telecom fraud through mobile phone camera and recording. On March 16th, Zhang Xue finally got up the courage and sent the alarm message. At present, Chen Qiang is criminally detained by the police on suspicion of illegal detention and telecom fraud, while Zhang Xue is a coerced crime. The police will make a decision on how to deal with her after further investigation.
The Anti-Domestic Violence Law has been implemented for one year: the success rate of personal safety protection orders is 98%
The police who handled the above-mentioned cases told the reporter that the police station often encountered domestic violence cases when receiving the police, but because the violence cases occurred at home, it was often difficult for the police to handle them because of insufficient evidence. The ignorance of violence will only make the perpetrators more unscrupulous. Zhang Xue is a living example.
From March 1, 2016 to now, China’s Anti-Domestic Violence Law has been implemented for one year.
