A divorced father who wanted to visit his 4-year-old daughter during the Chinese New Year was told by his ex-wife that she had died and was already buried.
The gruesome remains were discovered on Feb 1 after he asked police in Xiangshui County, Jiangsu province to help him find the body of his dead daughter. He claimed his estranged wife had paid a hospital to handle the remains following her death.
It turns out according to the local customs and superstitions, bodies of young children cannot be brought home and laid to rest underground or cremated. They must be buried in locations where traffic is convenient for their trip to their next lives easier. Otherwise, their spirits may linger around their homes due to homesickness, and new lives born in the same families will be possessed and haunted.
Police investigating the case tried to dig up the body under a bridge when they found to their surprise bodies of three other children.
The news and particularly gruesome pictures from the small village in eastern China’s Jiangsu province immediately captured the nation’s attention. Local media reported that results of autopsy of the four bodies showed while the 4-year-old girl who was named as Sun Ji'er, was beaten to death by her mother's boyfriend; Sun Hailang.
Sun Hailang has allegedly confessed to police that on Jan 21 he kicked the child in the back and abdomen because she was making too much noise, stopping her mother Wu Weiwei from going to work.
