China tenant shocked by grisly past of home after stumbling upon TV crime show
- TV crime show reveals secret past of rental property, tenant stunned by grim skeletons in cupboard of home
An unsuspecting rental tenant in a modest property in China was shocked to discover from a short video that his home was the scene of a grisly murder 10 years ago.
The revelation surfaced on July 22 when a Douyin blogger, who specialises in analysing criminal cases, posted a video detailing a bizarre murder that took place in March 2014 in Jilin city, Jilin province in northeastern China.
It involved the disappearance of a woman who was showing the rental property to prospective tenants on behalf of her friends.
Her body was later found inside the property, covered by a patterned red pillow.
Crucial evidence, including shredded paper found in the toilet that was pieced together into a rental agreement – along with elevator surveillance footage – helped the police identify the suspects as two prospective tenants the woman had shown the property to.
The video featured a detailed look at the crime scene, all sourced from a legal programme on the state television broadcaster CCTV.
