The husband was young, rich, drove expensive cars and lived the high
life. His wife was just 22, and the beautiful mother of his four-month
old baby daughter.
The happily married couple seemed to live a perfect life – until
young chinese wife Qi Kexin was found murdered in their home in
Nanjing's Jianye District.
No arrest has been reported but according to Xian Dai Kuai Bao, a Nanjing newspaper run by national news agency Xinhua, local authorities suspect she was slashed to death by her drunk husband after a heated argument.
She had been attacked with a knife and sustained between 30 and 40 knife wounds on her body.
Her husband, 24-year-old Ji Xing Peng, had allegedly slashed Qi to
death after an argument in which he accused her of infidelity and said
that their daughter was not his.
Qi's horrific death has since attracted huge media and online
attention in China, especially because her husband is from “second
generation money”, a negative term used to describe a class of young
rich who have inherited their money from parents but lead wasteful lives
of excessive spending and irresponsible behaviour.
News reports following the murder revealed that Ji was a member of
the Nanjing Super Car Club, drove a Lamborghini sports car and owned
numerous luxury residences.
The two are reported to have met about three years ago and were high school classmates who tied the knot after Qi found that she was expecting a baby.
Friends said that the marriage was unhappy, with Qi allegedly being locked up at her husband's family's home while he went out to gamble or to drink. They also said that domestic violence was common at their home as they quarreled about Ji's alleged extra-marital affairs and that Qi had asked for a divorce on more than one occasion.
