A Chinese student from Indiana has been charged with first-degree murder
after the body of his ex-wife was found Thursday on a roadside in Canada, a
local newspaper reports.
Weimin Wu, 28, a former student at Purdue University in West Lafayette,
Indiana, appeared in Maniwaki court Thursday night, according to an Ottawa
Citizen report. Wu is charged in connection with the death of Lijuan Wang,
31, a physics student at Purdue, who was last seen at her campus laboratory
about 11 p.m. Sunday.
Wu had been in police custody in Maniwaki since Wednesday afternoon, after
he ran into a utility pole in the town while driving Wang's car. Maniwaki is
about 140 km north of Ottawa, the Canadian capital.
Wu's ex-wife, Lijuan Wang, was found dead on a roadside near Maniwaki
Thursday. She had been shot to death, with several bullets in the head and
her hands had been cut off, the paper reported.
The couple, who was married in China and moved to Indianapolis from their
home near Beijing in 1988, divorced in July 1991, the report said. Purdue
police Lt. Brenda King was quoted as saying that Wang had reported being
threatened and harassed by Wu since early 1991. Wang later obtained a court
order forbidding Wu from contacting her, the paper said.
American prosecutors say Wu will not likely be extradited to face charges in
Indiana.
If Wu is convicted and sentenced to life in prison here, American officials
might not bother with the charges there, FBI agent Otto Johnson told the
Ottawa Citizen Friday.
(Editor's note: Purdue CSSU is calling for donations for Lijuan Wang's
parents who are now living at Purdue University, Wang
was their only child. Concerned readers may contact

West Lafayette - Friends of Lijuan Wang were not surprised by her violent
death. Lijuan Wang had received threats against her life and was very
afraid of her former husband Weimin Wu, friends said.
Wu, a 28-year-old former Purdue student, was arrested about 11 a.m.
Wednesday in Maniwaki after he crashed Wang's car into a utility pole.
Police traced the car license and learned Wu was wanted on a warrant
charging kidnapping and auto theft.
Wang, a Chinese citizen, was doing doctoral work in physics at Purdue. She
had been missing since Sunday night. Wu, a graduate student in chemical
engineering at IUPUI (Indianapolis) and at Purdue in 1990, had obtained
permanent residency status.
Linda Paquay said Wang told her she had received notes from her ex-husband
threatening to kill her, her family, friends and himself if the couple did
not reconcile.
"She was very, very much afraid of him," said Paquay, a secretary in the
physics department at Purdue.

What is this guy? Is he a psycho? Maybe he loved her too much,
as a saying the more you love, the more you hate.
That sounds unique excuse to me.
What a poor lady!
BYW, how many killing happens in USA each year, 10000?

believe and didn't want to believe that she was the Wang, Lijuan I knew.
She was such a nice person that I don't believe that any body would have
harmed her.
She worked in Dalian Institute of Technology and came here in 1987.
She used to be a roommate of my sister-in-law and a friend of my
wife. We took TOEFL and GRE examination together. I knew that
she met her ex-husband, the murderer, in a TOEFL class. He came here as
spouse with J-2 visa with her. I have long heard that he abused her
and threatened to kill her from friends but never believed he could really
do that. I was told that he was a very violent and unreasonable person.
I really want to see juctice served. But will it ? I don't think Canada
has death penalty and do believe that was the reason the aminal killed
her there. I do believe that life should be payed by life, not by life
sentence.
I believe her parents need help and any donation will be appreciated.

I was a woman in the Purdue physics department in 1992. I was young, too young to understand.
I didn't know Lijuan, but my friends were her best friends and they cried for her.
and if somehow her mother or father find this message and read this, please know that tears are still shed for her.
She is not forgotten.
Julie.

Yale Guen Mar, you are an opportunist. It doesn't matter what is worst and what is best for the world. You do what is best for you, period.
You stay put in Merced, CA so that you can collect welfare checks from Uncle Sam. At the same time you try your level best to earn 50 cents per approved post from the CCP regime in Beijing.
Yale Guen Mar, are you thinking of relocating to your birth village in PRC to learn first hand from the CCP dictatorship in Beijing?
Or do you think it is more prudent of you to live in USA on welfare checks from Uncle Sam and supplement the welfare checks with 50 cents per approved post from Uncle Chang?
Aren't you stuck in Merced, CA for reasons that are far more mundane than your distaste for America ? Isn't self interest the guiding principle that you keeps you stuck in USA even after 68 years of landing in San Francisco as a refugee from Communist China in 1949?
Aren't you afraid that you'll be a loser two times over if you relocate to PRC - you'll lose your welfare checks from Uncle Sam and, at the same time, if you post something from PRC that doesn't sit well with CCP, its workers will be at your door step in no time with orders to widen your asshole?

So Yale Guen Mar, you think that PRC wasn't good enough for even your parents, let alone for you?
Why don't you move back to your birth village so that you can live under CCP dictatorship in PRC? Of course you'll have to be very very careful. Don't post anything that deviates from CCP policy - otherwise you'll get sent away for reeducation through labor ( 勞動教養 ), but not before party workers widen your asshole enormously.
Good luck with your search for old age home with facilities for assisted living.
I think your best bet would be to accept the generous offer by your Hmong neighbors - they are willing to finance your trip to Cambodia for treatment of your infected middle fingers by Dr. Dong with alternate medicine. But of course there is a catch. You'll have to promise Ms. Rolida Lee and all your other Hmong neighbors to never again come back to Merced (or even to Merced, CA) to avail yourself of their generous offer for the travel grant.
