Speeding In A Tesla, 20-Year-China Man Kills Family Of 3, Shows No Remorse
The family was crossing the road to attend a family dinner when the accident occurred. The mother and infant died instantly, and the father died en route to the hospital. Elephant News reported that the victims' parents are now battling severe depression due to the tragedy.
"We were waiting for them to come home for dinner, but all we got was a call from the traffic police telling us they were gone. It feels like the world has collapsed around us," said Hu, who lost her son and grandson in the tragedy.
Following the accident, Liao and his family refused to apologise. Liao's father even threatened the victims' family, stating, 'My son killing your son was an act of God; you suing my son is a man-made disaster!' Hu reported that Liao displayed no compassion at the scene of the tragedy.
She said, "The scene was blood-soaked, yet he was chatting, joking, and laughing about my baby. Does he have any humanity?"
The victims' family rejected an offer of 800,000 yuan (approximately $110,000) in compensation from Liao's family. They also declined a proposal that Liao would care for the victims' elderly parents after his release from prison.
"What use is the money when two generations of my family are gone? How could he even suggest such a thing? Why would we allow the murderer who destroyed our family to take care of us?: Hu asked.
During the trial, Hu demanded the harshest punishment for Liao, even calling for the death penalty. Hu stated, "This man is only 20 years old, but he is already so cruel! One life for three lives, that is the only justice."
Liao's lack of remorse and his family's refusal to apologise have sparked widespread public outrage. One user wrote, "This is just too heartbreaking to watch. I hope this grieving mother can stay strong and see justice served, so that the 'monster' gets what he deserves."
Another said, "This was intentional murder. He must pay with his life."

Jimmy Lai trial: Hong Kong court hears final arguments; media tycoon faces life sentence
Image courtesy: AP Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai, 77, appeared in court Monday for final arguments in his national security trial as he faces potential life imprisonment on charges of colluding with foreign forces and conspiracy to publish seditious materials. The landmark trial of the Apple Daily newspaper founder, which has extended beyond 150 days, is being watched as a test of press freedom and judicial independence in Hong Kong. Prosecutor Anthony Chau presented arguments regarding the security law's collusion charges, focusing on sanctions against officials. The prosecution has alleged that Lai sought actions from foreign countries, particularly the United States, against Beijing while claiming to fight for democracy and freedom, according to a report by Associated Press. During his testimony, Lai denied requesting then-vice president Mike Pence and then-secretary of state Mike Pompeo to take action against Hong Kong and China during the 2019 protests. However, when questioned about an Apple Daily report indicating he had asked the US government to sanction Beijing and Hong Kong leaders, Lai acknowledged discussing it with Pompeo. Lai stated he would not have encouraged foreign sanctions after the implementation of the national security law on June 30, 2020. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo The closing arguments faced multiple delays due to weather conditions and concerns about Lai's health, including heart palpitations reported while in prison. The Hong Kong government responded to reports about Lai's medical care, stating that a medical examination found no abnormalities and that he received adequate care in custody. The prosecutor confirmed that Lai received a heart monitor and reported no health complaints. "I will get him out," U.S. President Donald Trump said before his November election victory, referring to seeking Lai's release in talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. In a subsequent Fox News radio interview, Trump clarified: "I've already brought it up, and I'm going to do everything I can to save him." China has responded by accusing Lai of inciting anti-China sentiments in Hong Kong and opposing foreign interference in its internal affairs. The case has drawn international attention, with foreign governments and rights groups expressing concern over Lai's prolonged solitary confinement. Former Apple Daily reader Susan Li, who waited in the rain to attend the court proceedings, expressed concern about Lai's apparent weight loss, stating, "I wanted to let him know we are still here." Lai's arrest in 2020 followed the implementation of Beijing's national security law, which was enacted after the 2019 anti-government protests. The law has raised questions about Hong Kong's autonomy, despite China's promise to maintain the city's civil liberties for 50 years following its 1997 return from British rule. The trial's duration has significantly exceeded its initial estimate of 80 days, with no clear indication of when a verdict will be delivered. During the proceedings, Lai was observed waving and smiling to attendees in the public gallery while occasionally closing his eyes during the prosecution's legal arguments. Critics argue that Hong Kong's promised freedoms have diminished since the security law's introduction, though Chinese and Hong Kong authorities maintain the legislation was necessary for the city's stability. The case continues to draw public interest, with people queuing in adverse weather conditions to observe the proceedings.

Hong Kong court hearing final arguments in Jimmy Lai's security trial
A Hong Kong court began hearing final arguments Monday in the landmark national security trial of former pro-democracy newspaper founder Jimmy Lai, who could be sentenced to up to life in prison if he is convicted. Lai, 77, was arrested in 2020 under a national security law imposed by Beijing following anti-government protests in 2019. He is being tried on charges of colluding with foreign forces to endanger national security and conspiring with others to issue seditious publications. Lai founded Apple Daily, one of the local media outlets that was most critical against Hong Kong's government. His high-profile case which has already stretched nearly 150 days, far beyond the original estimate of 80 days is widely seen as a trial of press freedom and a test for judicial independence in the Asian financial hub. Prosecutors allege that Lai asked foreign countries, especially the United States, to take actions against Beijing under the guise of fighting for freedom and democracy. On the first day of his testimony, he denied he had asked then-Vice President Mike Pence and then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to take action against Hong Kong and China during the 2019 protests. Later, when Lai's lawyer questioned him about an Apple Daily report saying he had asked the US government to sanction Beijing and Hong Kong leaders, he said he must have discussed it with Pompeo, as he had no reason to doubt the accuracy of the report by the now-defunct newspaper he founded. But Lai said he would not have encouraged foreign sanctions after the national security law was enacted on June 30, 2020. The closing arguments have been delayed twice, first due to weather then to concerns over Lai's health. On Friday, his lawyer, Robert Pang, said Lai had experienced heart palpitations while in prison. The judges wanted him to secure a heart monitor and medication first. After Friday's hearing, the Hong Kong government alleged foreign media outlets had attempted to mislead the public about Lai's medical care. It said a medical examination of Lai found no abnormalities and that the medical care he received in custody was adequate. It is unclear when the verdict will be delivered. Lai's yearslong detention, especially in solidarity confinement, has drawn concerns from foreign governments and rights groups. US President Donald Trump, before being elected to his second term in November, said he would talk to Chinese leader Xi Jinping to seek Lai's release: One hundred percent, I will get him out. In a Fox News radio interview released last Thursday, Trump denied saying he would 100 per cent save Lai, but rather that he would bring the issue up. I've already brought it up, and I'm going to do everything I can to save him, he said. China has accused Lai of stirring a rise in anti-China sentiments in Hong Kong and said it firmly opposes the interference of other countries in its internal affairs. Dozens of people waited in the rain Monday for a seat in the main courtroom to see Lai. Former Apple Daily reader Susan Li said she worried about Lai's health as he looked visibly thinner, and she would continue to pray for him. I wanted to let him know we are still here, she said. When Hong Kong, a former British colony, returned to China in 1997, Beijing promised to retain the city's civil liberties for 50 years. But critics say that promise has become threadbare after the introduction of the security law, which Chinese and Hong Kong authorities insist was necessary for the city's stability.
