A civil servant in southern Guangdong Province was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve for hammering his wife to death in a quarrel and dismembering her body.
The convict, Zhou Tengyue, was an official at the Yangjiang City Government reception department. He was married with his wife Chen Zhen for 17 years and had a daughter, the Modern Express reported today.
On April 2 this year, the couple had a fierce quarrel over the use of 120,000 yuan (US$18,811) of bank savings and their daughter's education. They fought all the way from the third to the first floor, and Zhou hit his wife's head with a hammer, which killed Chen instantly, the police said.
Zhou then pulled her body into the bathroom, dismembered it into 63 pieces, and buried them in a bamboo forest more than 50 kilometers away.
Chen's brother Chen Feng soon found his sister was missing and asked Zhou about her whereabouts. Zhou pretended to be ignorant and even reported to the police about her missing, the police said.
As police intensified their investigation, Zhou left home on April 9 and told his friends what had actually happened. He was eventually persuaded by his friends to surrender to the police.
