A 20-year-old woman in China was strangled to death by her step-grandfather after refusing his demands for money.
The shocking case was heard by the Yuncheng Intermediate People’s Court in northern China’s Shanxi province on September 12, according to Jimu News.
The verdict had not been reached at the time of reporting.
The defendant, a 62-year-old man surnamed Zhang, was accused of committing intentional homicide after he murdered his step-granddaughter at her home in February.
According to the victim’s younger sister, surnamed Bai, Zhang came to their house early in the morning on February 22 to ask for money.
