An unfortunate murder occurred in Sichuan, mainland China. A grandfather in his 60s was on his way home with his 7-year-old grandson after school when he was hit by a wooden stick that fell from the top floor of the 32nd floor of the community and died after being sent to the hospital. After investigation, the police found that the wooden stick was dropped by an 8-year-old boy from the same community. The grandfather’s family filed a complaint against the boy’s parents and the community afterwards.
According to “Sohu News”, an 8-year-old boy surnamed Yang took the elevator to the top floor of the community building alone on the afternoon of February 28, then picked up the 2-meter-long wooden stick with iron nails that had been placed on the top floor and threw it down. Then go downstairs to check. Unexpectedly, when the boy came downstairs, he saw many people surrounding the scene of the fall, and immediately realized that he had caused a catastrophe.
When the police followed the route to find the boy surnamed Yang and his parents, the boy said he was very scared at the moment, so he left the scene in a hurry; the parents refused to compensate the family of the deceased Xiao Weng on the grounds of financial difficulties at home. In this regard, Xiao Weng’s family not only insisted on filing a lawsuit against Yang Tong’s family, but also believed that the community was responsible for improper management, and at the same time filed a lawsuit against the community.
What made the outside world most sad was Xiao Sun who saw his grandfather being crushed to death with his own eyes. Xiao Tong, 7, said that he was walking in front of his grandfather, and soon “heard a voice”. After turning around, he saw his grandfather lying in the grass “The face turned white soon after I closed my eyes.” I hurriedly asked the passing neighbors for help.
