新西蘭第一命案

新西蘭第一命案是指中國公民肖真因為在新西蘭殺人而在中華人民共和國上海市受審的案件,新西蘭第一命案也是首起發生在新西蘭境內但在新西蘭以外審判的命案[1][2][3]

案發

2010年1月31日凌晨,中國公民肖真坐上奧克蘭芒特伊甸英語Mount Eden的一輛出租車,司機是來自孟買的黑瑞·莫黑尼(Hiren Mohini) [4][5][6]。肖真不肯付15.2新西蘭元車費,因而與莫黑尼發生爭執,隨後肖真掏出刀將莫黑尼殺死。[7]

肖真生於1985年,來自中國上海市,2007年5月起在新西蘭奧克蘭留學[8]。案發時是奧克蘭天空之城英語SkyCity Auckland的一名廚房工人。 [9][10]

2月4日,肖真搬到一個朋友家居住,第二天以在中國的爺爺病重為由買了單程機票回中國探望。新西蘭警方同時與國際刑警組織聯繫[7]

審判

2010年6月10日,肖真在上海的家中被逮捕。 [2][11][12]由於中國與新西蘭不存在引渡條約,因此肖真在中國接受法庭審判[13]新西蘭警察英語New Zealand Police已請求中方不要對犯人使用死刑 [14]

2011年8月2日,上海市第二中級人民法院[15]開庭審理此案[16] ,新西蘭警察提供了肖真的殺人證據,肖真對殺人一事供認不諱。[11]肖真表示,自己在上車後被莫黑尼辱罵,於是他要求莫黑尼停車,並且拒絕支付車費。結果兩人出現爭執,自己於是掏出刀具捅了司機一刀。[2][17] 8月17日,上海市第二中級人民法院判處肖真15年有期徒刑。 [18][19][20]

評論

奧克蘭大學副教授比爾·霍奇(Bill Hodge)認為此案標誌著「新西蘭的司法管轄權受到羞辱」。 [21]

"We have reviewed the case and found that the defendant showed regret during the trial and the lawyer pleaded for a lighter sentence. The court approved that, and the final ruling is that he should serve 15 years, and be deprived of political rights for a further four," said Judge Jiang Zhengyu. Li Liping, Xiao's aunt, said after the verdict that she felt Xiao Zhen deserved the sentence. "Our family failed to bring him up properly," she said, tearfully. "We do not think we will appeal and we think 15 years is correct. We now feel we can look the victim's family in the face".
