Because her Dutch husband complained about her cooking, Jinxiang Y., living at the Eiklaan in Rijswijk, the Netherlands, used a wrench to hit him on the head.
During a pro forma court meeting in De Hague, Jinxiang Y. (43) she repeated that her husbands’ complaints drove her to hit him (57) on the head with a wrench. She is now being charged with suspecting murder.

The incident happened on September 3rd when Y. wanted to help her husband, who had broken his neck, with washing his hair while he was taking a bath. The victim, was a construction worker of profession, didn’t want any help. And when he added that he didn’t wanted any of the monotonous, and probably poisoned Chinese food of her and also started to nag about an old money issue, Y. was more than fed up.
She reached for a wrench and kept hitting him, while he bled.
Y’s lawyer, wanted to dissolve the charge, becaus she acted on an impulse. “Chinese can take a lot, but there is a limit. This was just an ordinary domestic dispute, nothing more than that”.
The district attorney didn’t agree: “This is a severe crime. You just don’t act on an impulse when hitting an unarmed person in bath with a wrench”.
The judge didn’t take into account that Y. will have a hard time in prison, cause there are no Chinese females in prison, and that she will probably lose her staying permit in Holland. But the court did allow the victim to speak out his wish, that he does hope to maintain the marriage.
On January 25th the court will make a final decision.
