This Thursday, 10 years after a murder was committed in Canada, Beijing’s court judged that a former boyfriend of Amanda Zhao, a Chinese national who had come as an international student to B.C., Li Ang be given sentence of life imprisonment. Defence lawyer of Li, Zou Jiaming, mentioned that Beijing’s No. 1 Intermediate Court has given its official ruling on Thursday saying that Li had without a doubt committed an “intentional homicide.”
21-years-old Zhao had arrived in Canada in 2002 for the sake of pursuing further studies in English as she lived in Burnaby, B.C. with Li. She disappeared the 9th of October, 2002 while she still lived with Li. Few hikers discovered her body hidden in a suitcase almost two weeks after her missing report near Mission, B.C., 80 kilometres east of Vancouver. 18-years-old Li was the primary suspect of the case but he successfully fleeing the country and returned to China. After that followed a long and endless diplomatic and legal friction between Canadian and Chinese officials regarding who has the right to put the case on trial.
Canada attempted to extradite Li but after failing it finally decided to let Chinese investigators pursue the case and be only a source of help. Ultimately in 2009, Chinese police made Li’s arrest on the ground of evidence provided by the RCMP. Li had falsely claimed that his girlfriend had gone to the grocery store and never returned but the autopsy confirmed that she had been strangled to death.
