ChainCatcher news, according to The Paper, the victim’s family revealed that Dai Lumin, a former cadre of the Natural Resources and Planning Bureau of Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province and a criminal, was executed on the morning of February 2. In September 2020, Dai Lumin lured his newlywed wife to take poison and died in an attempt to defraud accident insurance compensation. At the time of the incident, the two had received their licenses for less than two months. Dai Lumin owed a huge debt before committing the crime and was married to the deceased for the second time. The deceased unfortunately died from consuming tetrodotoxin. On December 1, 2021, the case was heard in the Intermediate People’s Court of Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province.
The prosecutor alleged that the defendant Dai Lumin was in debt of more than 2.6 million yuan due to failed speculation in stocks and virtual currencies. In order to relieve economic pressure, he had the evil idea of killing people and defrauding huge insurance money. On April 26, 2020, Dai Lumin asked Wang to purchase a term life insurance online with an insured amount of 2 million. When the 90-day deductible period of the insurance was about to expire, Dai Lumin married Wang on July 20, 2020, and asked Wang to change the insurance beneficiary from Wang’s father to himself on July 24. Wang's family mentioned in the criminal indictment that Wang was just one of Dai Lu's many female friends, and Dai Lumin induced Wang to complete everything from taking out insurance, getting married, and changing the beneficiary.
The lawyer representing the victim's family believes that Dai Lumin directly committed murder in order to defraud a huge amount of insurance money. The circumstances and means were extremely egregious and should constitute the crime of direct intentional homicide and insurance fraud and be sentenced to death. His criminal behavior caused great economic and mental losses to Wang's family and should be compensated. In 2022, Dai Lumin was sentenced to death in the first instance for committing intentional homicide, and the original verdict was upheld in the second instance.
