Oh Lawwwwd!!!! Chinese Man Chops Off 10-Year-Old’s Hand And Tosses It In Boiling Water To Prevent Docs From Saving It

This is insane! A Chinese man beats his 10-year-old stepson, severing his hand and quickly drops it in boiling water. The child's crime? Because the child's mom wasn’t able to afford an apartment they were trying to buy. Read the gist below.

NY Daily News reports: A Chinese man hacked off his stepson’s hand with a meat cleaver Tuesday before spitefully throwing it in boiling water so that it could never be reattached, police said. Cheng Sun, 43, allegedly beat 10-year-old Xiao Jun with a stick after a row about money before grabbing the hatchet and smashing it down on his limb. He then lobbed the bloody lump of flesh into a pot of water that had been left on the stove refor their evening meal.

The Daily Mirror further reports that Cheng had met Xiao’s mom, Xiao Shen, a year ago. The couple, who lived in a rented apartment in Shenyang with the boy, were looking to buy a flat together. The mother went to visit relatives to try borrowing some cash when she called Cheng to say there would be a delay with the money coming through.

The crane driver allegedly launched into a furious rage and attacked the boy. Afterward, he reportedly called cops to confess the crime. He then took Xiao to the hospital, but doctors said it was too swelled-up to be of use and that the boy required an artificial arm. Cheng was arrested and now faces a lengthy prison term.

Quite a number of extra-judicial killings and tortures in these circumstances have been highlighted by the local media too. Against this background, the judgment of the Bayelsa State High Court, Nembe Division, sitting in Yenagoa, delivered by Justice Lucky Boufili sending killer policeman, Matthew Egheghe, to the gallows is most welcome. It is a bold statement that the law frowns at cruelty by uniformed officers of the state and that an appropriate premium is placed on life by the Nigerian state. That judgment would not bring back the dead, but it should to some extent console their grieving families that justice was served to the guilty. It would equally serve as a deterrent to trigger-h...
