PROSECUTORS in Dongguan, a city of southern Guangdong Province, rejected the appeal request by the family of a college student killed by a schoolmate in a murder attempt as they considered the court sentence too lenient.
Ao Xiang, a senior student of Dongguan University of Technology, was convicted of murder and molest for banging the head of Liang Rongcai against a wall and suffocating her to death after the sophomore put up a fierce fight.
The Dongguan Intermediate People's Court said Liang's fierce resistance triggered Ao's intention to kill and Ao handed himself to police after the murder, which qualified him for a lenient sentence.
But the victim's family said they were not present at the May 25 trial and they wanted to appeal the court ruling, the Xiaoxiang Morning Post reported today.
The verdict also sparked widespread controversy in the society as many people think Ao deserves immediate capital punishment for brutally killing the girl.
Ao, an academically outstanding student, has poor relationship with other people and always acted alone. He was found to have molested girl students on the campus seven times.
