According to Chinese media such as China Dotcom, three sisters (37, 33 and 26 years old) who visited their father's grave for the Lunar New Year holiday on January 31 this year died on the spot from explosives. The youngest, 26, is said to have recently taken wedding photos ahead of her marriage.
According to police investigation, the culprit was identified by his surname Wang, the sisters' uncle.
In May last year, he purchased two boxes of firecrackers and collected gunpowder separately to make homemade explosives. After that, he hid it near his grave in December last year, expecting that his nephews would visit his brother's grave.
On the day of the incident, the three sisters paid their respects at the grave and lit a paper banknote, when an explosive device exploded.
Wang's crime stemmed from a long-standing feud with his brother and father of three sisters.
The brothers often fought over the boundaries of the land from the past. They even had a physical fight with their wives.
The mausoleum, which was built after the death of the father of three sisters in 2021, was also reported as an illegal burial. It was a report from his younger brother, Wang.
This forced the family to move their graves, further exacerbating the conflict between the two families.
The villagers tried to reconcile and mediate to no avail.
Eventually, as the discord intensified, Wang committed the crime against his nephews.
The first trial court admitted Wang's charges on March 27 and sentenced him to death. He appealed immediately and the second trial was recently held, but the ruling has not yet been made public.
