Current Events > Chinese female kills herself after husband faked his death in an insurance scam.

(+) Yeah! (+)

A man in China whose wife killed herself and their two children after he allegedly faked his own death for an insurance payout has given himself up to police. The 34-year-old was presumed dead after a car he borrowed was found in a river, though his body was never recovered.

He did not tell his wife his alleged plan and she believed he had died. She drowned herself and their children three weeks later, after posting a suicide note online. The man, who police said was named He, turned himself in to police in Xinhua county in Hunan province last Friday.

He has been detained on charges of insurance fraud and intentional damage to property, Xinhua police said in a statement on WeChat - a social media platform. In early September, Mr He bought an insurance plan worth one million yuan (110,000; $145,000) without his wife's knowledge, police said.

According to a report by state-run Voice of China radio, his wife was named as the beneficiary.

On 19 September, Mr He used a borrowed vehicle to fake his own death in a car crash, police said. He was found to have loans of more than 100,000 yuan.

On 11 October, the bodies of his 31-year-old wife, their four-year-old son and three-year-old daughter were found in a pond near their home, according to the Voice of China, which broadcast parts of the suicide note that had been posted on WeChat.

Mr He turned himself in to police the next day.

He had earlier posted a video online, which was later widely circulated, in which he was crying and saying he had borrowed money to pay for treatment for his three-year-old daughter, who suffered from epilepsy.

The incident has been widely talked about across Chinese social media over the past week, sparking conversations about financial pressures and familial issues.

The hashtag #ManFakesDeathLeadingtoWifesDeath been viewed almost 29 million times on microblogging site Weibo.

Zhang Xinnian, a Beijing-based lawyer, says the causal relation between He's alleged fraud and Dai's suicide "will be difficult to prove in court", the Global Times reports.

Jesus Christ, I get that He was trying to ensure his wife was not held responsible if he got caught but how the fuck can you fake your own death and NOT tell the mother of your kids about it. Or have some plan in place for someone to look after them?

Of course it's going to fuck them up.

Faking your death is also illegal even if you're uninsured.

The man you love and presumably provides for you dies suddenly.

You're in debt, have no reason to live anymore and no way to look after your kids. China treats orphans the same way you treat dog turds.

So in a broken mental state her wrecked mind decided she couldn't cope anymore and she did not want her children to suffer.

Reminds me of that age old moral dilema about whether it is meriful to let someone live despite being in agonizing pain every moment of every day or kill them to spare them of that pain.

That's basically how her mind was processing it. Her mental state died when her husband physical one did. Little did she know, he was lying

Doesnt matter. The action behind killing a child, your own one for that matter, I could never fathom. Maybe because im not a crazy fuck like her. Seriously, theres no justifying it to me.
