Chinese Woman Spent 20 Years On The Run After Killing 7 People
The law finally caught up with a Chinese woman who allegedly murdered seven people and spent 20 years on the run.
On Monday, 46-year-old Lao Rongzhi expressed remorse during her court appearance at the Nanchang Intermediate People’s Court in Jiangxi. Though she apologized to the victims’ families, she expressed that she was also a “victim.” Rongzhi revealed that her boyfriend, convicted murderer Fa Ziying, forced her to help carry out the murders. The woman also claimed that her ex-boyfriend abused her mentally and physically during their relationship between 1996 and 1999.
