A man was beaten to death at his in-law’s house after an argument with his wife over divorce escalated and turned violent on Sept. 12, 2018.
The family also accused the man of raping his own mother-in-law and threatening her life with a hatchet three months prior to the deadly incident. However, due to late reporting, local police said the forensic evidence collected from the mother-in-law was invalid to support her rape claim, according to the Beijing Times on March 13.
