It is shocking to find that he used the money for his 19-year-old girlfriend and met a prostitute woman.
According to Chinese media such as Sohu, 44-year-old Lee fell his wife A (46) over the railing into the sea on May 5, 2021, while on a ferry from Dalian, Liaoning, China to Yantai, Shandong.
The maritime police found his wife's body after a 45-minute search, and when his husband heard the news of his wife's death, he fell to the ground in shock and wailed.
He told police that his short wife fell through the railings as the boat shook, arguing that according to custom, she should be cremated within three days of her death.
The police, who were suspicious of this, investigated all more than 200 CCTVs installed on the ship, but could not arrest the man because the crime took place in a blind spot.
However, an autopsy found bruises on his wife's face.
According to the autopsy report, the wife was punched and strangled before her death.
In addition, it was revealed that her husband, Lee, who had a lot of debt, did not inform his family or people around him of his marriage, and even subscribed to several death insurance policies to his wife so that he could receive 12 million yuan (about 2.3 billion won).
In addition, he had a 19-year-old college girlfriend and called a prostitution woman at a hotel provided by police for questioning just 15 days after his wife died, the investigation found.
Police arrested Lee and questioned him with reinforced video footage, but he continued to insist on his innocence.
With the help of forensic experts, police investigated footage captured by surveillance cameras located further from the ferry's crash site.
Experts judged that the victim did not fall accidentally, but was pushed over and fell.
Eventually, Lee was sentenced to death for murder in his first trial in July 2022, and the ruling was upheld at the appeal trial.
