A man broke into a family’s house, armed with a knife and a steel bar, after stalking the family’s daughter since early 2018, according to Chinese state media. The incident occurred on July 11, 2018 in Hebei Province, China. The confrontation turned violent after the stalker, named Wang Lei, started a fight with the family’s daughter.
The parents, Wang Xinyuan (father) and Zhao Yinzhi (mother) said they killed Lei out of self-defense, but they were arrested a month later and charged with murder. The daughter, Xiaofei (not her real name), 22, was granted bail.
