2013年纽约华裔灭门案
案情 编辑
陈闽东在2004年非法移民到美国[1]及住在表哥的家中。2013年10月26日，他用一把刀在布鲁克林家中杀害了37岁的表嫂李巧珍和她们的四名子女9岁的琳达·卓（Linda Zhuo），7岁的埃米·卓（Amy Zhuo），5岁的凯文·卓（Kevin Zhuo）和1岁的威廉·卓（William Zhuo）[2][3]，五人均颈部中刀而身亡[4][5][6][7]。陈闽东在案发现场被捕，而表哥则刚好外出工作而逃过一劫[4]。
动机 编辑
陈闽东曾在芝加哥、佛罗里达州居住，案发前约一星期在搬到纽约寄在表哥家中[8][9]。他是非法移民，案发时并没有工作[5][4]，16岁时便从福建省抵达美国，并在一家中国餐馆工作以偿付非法移民的7万美元债务[10]。他在2007年申请政治庇护，但因证供作假而被拒，2013年6月最终上诉失败[10]。
他在美国生活不如意，且多次被辞退，加上不谙英语，难以找到工作。他表示抵达美国后，似乎“每个人似乎都过得比他好”，因而产生杀机[2]。他作供时坦承嫉妒表哥一家人太幸福，拥有的比他多[11]。
被捕及判刑 编辑
陈闽东被捕后，向警方招供及承认所有罪行[12][13]。他只能说基本英语，在庭上需透过传译作供，最终他承认三项二级谋杀和两项一级误杀控罪[1][14]，判监125年[10]。
