Shuo Dong
The native of China was sentenced to 18 years in prison for the murder of a neighbor, without the right to parole until 2031. The man compromised himself with queries on Google two days before the crime, according to news.com.au.
It is noted that the murder took place in 2018. 19-year-old Shuo Dong rented an apartment with 28-year-old Qi Yu in Sydney, where a woman came to study. The body of a Chinese woman was found in a gutter on the outskirts of the city. A long sleeve blouse was tied around her neck. However, it is still unknown how the girl was killed – during the interrogation, Dong did not reveal this.
A few days before Yu disappeared, her neighbor searched the Internet for legal information. His inquiries included the following: “How many years faces for premeditated murder in Australia?” And “Criteria for sentencing for premeditated murder. What expenses should be reimbursed after premeditated murder. ”
On the night of Yu's murder, a third neighbor, returning home, noticed a large red spot on the stairs. Thus, the police established that the woman was killed in the apartment and the body was then taken away. In court, it emerged that Dong had been diagnosed with schizophrenia. However, according to experts, it did not influence the commission of the murder, which was clearly planned in advance.
