Chinese man jailed for breaking into woman’s home, drawing her blood for ‘stress relief’
Repeat offender flees scene after victim’s husband hits him with a kettle; two-year jail term issued by court raises eyebrows online
A Chinese man who broke into a woman’s home, sedated her and drew her blood has claimed he did it to relieve stress.
The home invader has been jailed for two years, and his bizarre actions have sparked outrage online.
The disturbing incident took place in the early hours of January 1, 2024, when the man, surnamed Li, broke into the home of a woman called Yu in Yangzhou, Jiangsu province, southeastern China.
At the time, Yu was asleep in her bedroom while her husband was out.
Li gained entry by simply pushing the door open.
He found Yu and knocked her out using a black cloth soaked in anaesthetics, then drew blood from her arm.
The horrifying act was interrupted when Yu’s husband returned home unexpectedly.
Her husband reportedly struck Li with a kettle, prompting the intruder to flee.
