2013年紐約華裔滅門案

2013年10月26日,兇手陈闽东在他表哥卓仪林在紐約布魯克林家中制造了一起滅門案。

案情

陈闽东在2004年非法移民到美國[1]及住在表哥的家中。2013年10月26日,他用一把刀在布魯克林家中殺害了37歲的表嫂李巧珍和她們的四名子女9歲的琳達·卓(Linda Zhuo),7歲的埃米·卓(Amy Zhuo),5歲的凱文·卓(Kevin Zhuo)和1歲的威廉·卓(William Zhuo)[2][3],五人均頸部中刀而身亡[4][5][6][7]。陈闽东在案發現場被捕,而表哥則剛好外出工作而逃過一劫[4]

動機

陈闽东曾在芝加哥佛羅里達州居住,案發前約一星期在搬到紐約寄在表哥家中[8][9]。他是非法移民,案發時並沒有工作[5][4],16歲時便從福建省抵達美國,並在一家中國餐館工作以償付非法移民的7萬美元債務[10]。他在2007年申請政治庇護,但因證供作假而被拒,2013年6月最終上訴失敗[10]

他在美國生活不如意,且多次被辭退,加上不諳英語,難以找到工作。他表示抵達美國後,似乎「每個人似乎都過得比他好」,因而產生殺機[2]。他作供時坦承嫉妒表哥一家人太幸福,擁有的比他多[11]

被捕及判刑

陈闽东被捕後,向警方招供及承認所有罪行[12][13]。他只能說基本英語,在庭上需透過傳譯作供,最終他承認三項二級謀殺和兩項一級誤殺控罪[1][14],判監125年[10]
