‘Despicable monster’ jailed for life, victim’s daughter says: ‘You took my mummy’
Christchurch real estate agent Yanfei Bao’s killer will spend at least 17-and-a-half years behind bars following an unruly court hearing that laid bare Bao’s young daughter’s grief and the murderer’s bizarre and “chilling” behaviour.
Tingjun Cao, 54, sat quietly for 15 minutes in the High Court at Christchurch before standing up in the dock, pointing, waving and yelling in Mandarin. Justice Lisa Preston had just started outlining the timeline of his sentencing.
Cao, who was flanked in the dock by interpreters and a three-strong team of Corrections guards, was briefly removed from court.
When he returned from the break, Cao was told by Justice Preston that she would not tolerate any further interruptions. He began yelling again. The judge ordered he be removed and Cao was taken away by the guards, tearing up documents and throwing them to the floor as he left.
He watched the rest of the hearing from another courtroom.
This clown has acted in a way that just screams ‘guilty’ doesn’t it?
I’ve followed the case because the sudden disappearance was so odd and all the evidence seemed to point in one direction.
I always want to hear their defence, and Tingjun Cao’s defence was such a joke.
It amounts to everyone is lying and framing him.
Ok, sure, but what about all the forensic evidence and the phone tracking evidence and evidence evidence?
According to Tingjun Cao it’s all been a campaign against him.
His frustration as his bullshit lies melted in the heat of scrutiny has resulted in immature behaviour you would expect from a child rather than an adult.
There are times when you are certain of a persons guilt by the way they behave when challenged, and based on that alone, without even looking at all the corresponding evidence of his guilt, Tingjun Cao is very guilty.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Like the behaviour from this abysmal excuse for a govt, guilty of total incompetence.
It’s a “face” issue. Acting completely indignant about what is being said invariably means you are guilty as it gets.
I hope he likes porridge.
And bending over for dropped soap.
The song “6 months in a leaky boat” seems an ideal place for him to be in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with no propulsion method available; he is allowed a fishing line and a bucket along with a player with the above song.
Martyn – If he did this in China…Death Penalty applies
The sentencing of Tingjun Cao for the murder of Christchurch real estate agent Yanfei Bao was as harrowing as the crime itself.
