Father Plots Son's Murder for Insurance, Receives ₹1.5 Crore Compensation

Father Plots Son's Murder for Insurance, Receives ₹1.5 Crore Compensation

A dad in China named Zhang was having money problems and arguments with his wife.

He decided to kill his own 7-year-old son to get a lot of money from insurance.

He asked his cousin, who drove a truck, to help.

The cousin pretended to accidentally hit Zhang's car with the truck, killing the boy.

Zhang acted sad to trick the police.

He got money from insurance, and gave some to his cousin.

But, the cousin's driver's license was fake, so the insurance company didn't want to pay.

The court then made the truck owner pay the money instead.

Eventually, someone told the police about the plan, and Zhang and his cousin were arrested.

The cousin was sentenced to death, but his execution is delayed for two years.
