Deng Mingjian is on his way to the court. Sichuan Man Buys Pesticide to Help Euthanize Gravely Ill Mother, Given Suspended Sentence
May 16th of last year, Guangzhou City Fanyu District Shiji County local police received a report from Deng Mingjian, who claimed that his mother Li X died a natural death in their rented apartment, but the preliminary autopsy by the police showed that Li died of organophosphorus poisoning. Afterward, Deng Jianming confessed, that it was at his mother’s request that he purchased pesticide to help his mother commit “euthanasia”. After the crime, this case became a focus of attention for different sectors of society. 2012 May 30th, the People’s Court of Fanyu District made the first judgment on this “case of matricide”, sentencing Deng Mingjian to three years in prison for intentional homicide, suspended for four years. Photo [above] is of Deng Mingjian being taken to the court, 2012 May 30th. Deng Mingjian is at the court. After the crime, voices of sympathy arose from many people who were close to Deng Mingjian. First, it was his two older sisters and his younger brother who all said they understood [why he did this], and wrote a letter pleading for leniency in the sentencing of Deng Mingjian. Ten of his factory coworkers jointly signed a statement submitted to the Public Security Bureau, also in hopes of leniency. From his hometown of Jinzi village in Langzhong county of Sichuan province, dozens of his household friends and family collectively signed a request that Deng Mingjian be given a light sentence. This picture is of 2012 May 30th, of Deng Jianming receiving his sentence from the court for helping his mother with euthanasia. Deng Mingjian's wife is at the court. Deng Mingjian’s brother testified that when his father was still alive, his mother often asked him and his father to buy pesticide to help her commit suicide. The village head said that after Deng’s mother had two strokes in 1991 and 1996, she once asked Deng’s father to help her up to go jump into a well [to commit suicide]. Another fellow-villager of Deng Mingjian’s also testified “Deng’s mother often said she wanted to die, even asked her son to buy poison for her to drink. Deng’s mother never said anything bad about Deng Mingjian, instead always saying that she felt sorry for him [for the burdens she placed upon him].” Deng Mingjian’s cousin said that 10 days before the crime, Deng Mingjian’s mother complained asking why the god wouldn’t accept her [let her die].

He changed into the red T-shirt and white pants his wife had brought him and his previously terrified and wooden expression now turning a bit more tranquil. Holding his wife, he walked out of the crowd of people surrounding him. This picture is of Deng Mingjian after after changing into a red T-shirt being interviewed by the media outside the court.

This picture is of Deng Mingjian’s attorney Tang Chengkui expressing that he is extremely satisfied with the sentence result, which also met his expectations. “Strictly speaking, this case is not about euthanasia in a complete sense, as it was only due to Deng Mingjian’s limited knowledge and ignorance of the law that this tragedy happened.”
