Why sued after 25 years?

Family members: no longer trust the school, hope to solve the problem through law

  It has been 25 years since the "Nanda Corpse Case", why did the family suddenly decide to sue the school?

Is it just for financial compensation, as some netizens have said?

  The victim Diao Aiqing’s sister Diao Aihua said in an interview, “This time it’s not for financial compensation, but for so many years. Our family members have always believed and waited for them to give us a satisfactory answer, but they did not do it. Just at home. If you are hurt, I want to ask for an explanation."

  Zhou Zhaocheng also confirmed this statement.

Zhou Zhaocheng said that according to Diao Aihua, 25 years ago, his sister was killed while at Nanjing University, and his parents went to Nanjing University many times to ask for an explanation.

Unfortunately, at that time, Nanjing University did not deal with the news on the grounds that the case had not been detected and that parents were allowed to go home. The first wait was 25 years.

  As a family member of the victim, Diao Aihua believes that the campus has the responsibility and obligation to ensure safety.

Diao Aiqing, who was only 19 years old, was brutally murdered during her time at school, and more than 2,000 corpses were broken. Nanjing University had a major fault in campus management.

  According to Diao Aihua, on January 10, 1996, on the day of Diao Aiqing's disappearance, he was abused by the school's dormitory management teacher of Nanjing University, causing him to leave the dormitory in grief and to be killed.

However, Diao Aiqing did not return home at night, and the school did not find out and notify the parents in time. It was not until 10 days later, after the police found Diao Aiqing's body on January 19, that Nanjing University notified her parents.

  From a legal point of view, Zhou Zhaocheng also pointed out the responsibility of the school. “There are problems of unfairness and abuse of disciplinary power in campus dormitory management.”

  Zhou Zhaocheng believes that if the school strictly manages the dormitory and conducts a strict review of the student's accommodation, Diao Aiqing may not be able to leave the school and "may fundamentally eliminate the victimization."

  Secondly, Zhou Zhaocheng claimed that Diao Aiqing was missing, but the school failed to report to the police or tell his parents in time, which objectively caused the case to miss the best time to solve it.

  "If you tell it as soon as possible, you may be able to shorten the time to find Diao Aiqing as much as possible," Zhou Zhaocheng said. "The case has not been detected in 25 years because the relevant evidence has been destroyed. From this point of view, the school's responsibility is indispensable. Shirk."

  Regarding Nanjing University, the defendant in this case, Zhou Zhaocheng told Chinanews.com that until now, Nanjing University has not contacted the victim’s family on this matter.

As of press time, Chinanews has called Nanjing University Gulou campus many times, but no one answered it.

  "We hope that the school can respond positively to this matter, and we also look forward to proceeding in accordance with laws and regulations within a legal framework." Zhou Zhaocheng said.

 "The corpse case" has not been detected, does it affect the outcome of this lawsuit?

Lawyer: It will not directly affect, but it is difficult to obtain evidence in the case

  What happened to the 19-year-old girl Diao Aiqing on January 10-19, 1996 is still unknown.

And if the case is not solved, will it affect the demands of the victim's family?

  Zhou Zhaocheng believes that the claims in this case, including death compensation, funeral expenses, and mental damage comfort payments, are based on the school’s tortious behavior and failure to fulfill its security obligations, which led to a tragedy for the victim. Since the tragedy has already occurred, the school’s responsibility cannot be shied away.

"From this level, the detection of the corpse case will not directly affect this request for compensation."

  But at the same time, Zhou Zhaocheng said that the "Nanda Corpse Broken Case" has not been detected, which may cause certain difficulties in obtaining relevant evidence.

"Twenty-five years ago, what did Diao Aiqing experience leaving the dormitory before disappearing? Was the school at fault? To what extent? All this depends on the evidence provided by both parties in the court trial and the facts verified by the court." Zhou Zhaocheng hopes to pass the court hearing. Able to restore the truth of the case as much as possible.

  From the perspective of evidence collection, Lantian Bin, a lawyer at the Jiangsu Fa-De Dongheng Law Firm, who has been following the Nanjing University corpse case, also said in an interview that according to the case, Diao Aiqing was an adult when he was killed. If Diao Aiqing’s close relatives want to make a claim, they must prove the school. There are faults in education and management.

"Considering the difficulty of producing evidence in this case, there is a possibility that the prosecution may be dismissed or the litigation request may be dismissed. Taking a step back, even if the school is liable, the proportion of the school's liability is relatively low."

  In addition, Lan Lan Bin introduced that according to the Criminal Procedure Law, if the victim dies, the victim's legal representative and close relatives are indeed entitled to initiate an incidental civil lawsuit.

However, generally speaking, compensation will only be required for direct material losses caused by criminal acts, and the so-called direct material losses generally include the victim’s own medical expenses, nutrition expenses, lost work expenses, relatives’ funeral expenses and dependents’ expenses. Various expenses such as living expenses.

  "In addition, mental losses are not included in the compensation for this type of case. The law does not stipulate that such cases need to be compensated for mental losses. Therefore, the amount of compensation in this type of case is generally not very high, and it is unlikely to be as high as that of Diao Aiqing’s family. The 1.62 million yuan required." Lan Lan Bin said.
