Lin surrendered to police on August 11, accompanied by his younger brother, saying he had killed his live-in girlfriend. Her body was later found in Lin's home by police. The prosecutors said Lin had strangled Wang to death.
The two had lived together since last year. Later Lin found Wang was dating a new boyfriend and was not always at home. The murder happened in the afternoon of August 8 after the two had a quarrel.

After that Lin seriously wounded another girlfriend and was sentenced to 16 years in jail for attempted murder. Lin was released in 2006.
