A man in Jiangsu Province was jailed for three years for leaving his 89-year-old mother to die on his doorstep after refusing to feed her for a week.
Lin Lanzhu's body was found crouching outside son Chen Binsheng's house after a storm last July. Chen and his wife Li Hua refused to let her inside the house or give her any food for seven days before she died.
A court in Taixing City sentenced Chen to three years in jail and Li to 18 months with an 18-month reprieve for the crime of abandonment, reported the Procuratorial Daily under the Supreme People's Procuratorate today.
The couple locked Lin outside the house because she "ate too much" for lunch one month earlier, the report said.
"They called her bad names and told her to die," the report quoted a neighbor as saying. The couple beat up Chen's elder sister who tried to take her mother to her home. They also shouted at other villagers who gave her food and quilts.
Angry neighbors reported the matter to police. When Chen was being arrested, he told police that it was his family's own business.
Chen's younger brother said he had no idea how his mother had died because he was out of town.
The brothers both refused to take care of their mother, and a court order finally forced them to share her care month by month, the report said.
