Xinhua, Taiyuan, June 4th (Li Tingyao) The Shanxi Provincial Public Security Bureau released news on the evening of the 3rd that the provincial police cracked a case of malignant homicide in 1981 that caused two deaths and two injuries, and will abscond somewhere in Inner Mongolia for 39 years. Zhang Mou, the long-time fugitive, was arrested.

  At 18:00 on September 8, 1981, villager Dumou (female, 19 years old at the time of the incident) and Dumou's nephew (only more than two months old at the time of the incident) were used by a villager in Lingqiu County, Datong City, Shanxi Province The hammer killed him, and Dumou's niece (only 1 year and 6 months old at the time of the incident) and Dumou's mother (48 years old at the time of the incident) were severely injured.

  Soon after, the police in Lingqiu determined that the husband of the deceased Dumou, Zhang Mou, was suspected of committing a major crime, and Zhang absconded after the incident. For more than 30 years, the Shanxi police have never given up the pursuit of Zhang Moucai, but subject to the lag of scientific and technological means, the case has not made substantial progress. Over the years, public security organs have been touring around Hebei, Shaanxi and other places to check the clues of the case and the trajectory of the suspect, but have repeatedly failed in vain.

  Since the operation of accumulating murder cases, public security organs have used big data to get the bottom line and grasped the clue that Zhang Mou might be hiding somewhere in Inner Mongolia. The task force immediately rushed to the Inner Mongolia area, dispatched three pursuit teams, formulated multiple sets of arrest plans, and launched a joint arrest for Zhang Mou. On March 26, the police arrested the fugitive Zhang Mou in a place in Inner Mongolia.

  The criminal suspect Zhang Moucai confessed that on September 8, 1981, due to family chores, he clashed with his wife Du Mou’s family. Zhang Mou killed his wife Dumou and Dumou’s nephew with an octagonal hammer. Du Mou's niece and mother were seriously injured. After the incident, Zhang Moucai had been absconding and settled in a place in Inner Mongolia for 39 years.

  At present, the criminal suspect Zhang Moucai has been criminally detained by the public security organ, and the case is under further investigation.

  Since the beginning of this year, Shanxi public security organs have detected 119 cases of murder. The Shanxi police warned the fugitives that it was a wise choice and a correct way to surrender to an early surrender for leniency. (Finish)
