The arrested man claimed "It was to relieve stress."
According to the Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, a woman living in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, China, was sleeping alone in her bedroom in the early morning of January 1 this year. At this time, the criminal, identified only by his surname Lee, who sneaked into the house, knocked Wi out with a cloth soaked with anesthetic.
After that, blood was drawn from Wi's arm with a syringe.
When her husband, who returned home, witnessed this and hit Lee with a kettle, he hurriedly fled.
Wie, who regained consciousness, stated that he found a tourniquet for blood collection on the bed and that there were needle marks and blood marks on his left arm.
According to police investigation, medical anesthetics were detected in the fabric used in the crime.
After the incident, nearby residents complained of anxiety and began installing CCTV for crime prevention at their homes.
One resident said "The more I think about it, the more horrible it is. "Where did you get the alternative anesthetic and how did you break into the house?" he said, expressing fear.
Lee, who was later arrested by police, stated that the act of sneaking into someone else's house was thrilling and helped reduce stress.
The court sentenced him to two years in prison on charges of home invasion.
According to the released court data, Lee had a criminal record of theft, sexual assault, and illegal invasion in the past, and had a history of being sentenced to administrative detention for invasion of privacy.
Despite having such a criminal history, Chinese online public opinion strongly protested when a relatively light sentence was sentenced. Voices are spreading that "These dangerous crimes should not be treated only as simple residential invasion."
Netizens are not convinced that the sentence is light because the victim did not suffer significant physical or mental damage", "A person with a history of sexual crimes in the past is only two years in prison, so isn't recidivism repeated because of this ruling?" he expressed anger.
