Diminished responsibility trial plea
Print Edition
A Chinese college student who allegedly stabbed his roommate to death and beheaded him in March may be able to plead diminished responsibility at trial after a medical assessment found him to be depressed, local police said yesterday.
The suspect, identified by his surname Teng, was a freshman at Sichuan Normal University in southwest China. He has been in police custody since his roommate’s murder on March 27.
According to a medical evaluation entrusted by police in Chengdu City’s Longquanyi District, Teng was found to “have a depression disorder and diminished responsibility.”
The attorney for the victim’s family said they will appeal the medical evaluation.
