Wu Xieyu was convicted of intentional homicide, fraud, and buying and selling identity documents. He was sentenced to death, deprived of political rights for life, and fined 103,000 yuan.
After the first-instance verdict was pronounced, Wu Xieyu filed an appeal. During the second-instance trial, the court organized the prosecution and defense to conduct court investigation and court debate on the focus of the dispute around the reasons for appeal. The court adjourned the trial and announced the verdict at a later date.
