from suffering,’ police say
Before police showed up at his hotel room on Friday morning, Haoyu Wang, a
26-year-old University of Utah student, sent an email to a university staff
member, saying that he had injected his girlfriend with heroin to “relieve
her from suffering,” according to an arrest affidavit.
Wang’s girlfriend, 19, has not been publicly identified. The Salt Lake City
Police Department said in a news release that she was living with Wang at
the time. Wang, according to the affidavit, is a Chinese citizen. The
University of Utah identified his girlfriend as an “international
undergraduate student.”
In January, Wang was charged with assault for hitting his girlfriend during
an argument at another hotel, giving her what paramedics described as a “
goose egg” on her head, according to a probable cause affidavit in that
case. He was released from jail to await trial after being deemed low risk
of committing a violent crime, according to court documents.
Wang told police in an interview that he and his girlfriend had planned to
die together by suicide, according to the affidavit. To carry that out, Wang
allegedly said he had ordered heroin and fentanyl online.
At the motel, he and his girlfriend snorted heroin, Wang told police,
according to the affidavit. The woman vomited, stopped responding and began
to breathe heavily, Wang said. That was when he “injected her with a high
dose of heroin with the intent to kill her and relieve her suffering,” the
affidavit states, adding: “After injecting the victim, Haoyu said that she
died.”
Wang then injected himself with heroin and stayed in the room until police
arrived, according to the affidavit. | Y****1 发帖数: 1 | | N**********d 发帖数: 2466 | |
