A waitress who fatally stabbed an official and injured another choked back tears as she walked free from a Hubei court after a guilty verdict with "diminished responsibility" yesterday.
Deng Yujiao, 21, whose plight caught the attention of millions around the world, was found guilty of intentional assault at Xiongfeng Hotel in Yesanguan on May 10 but was not penalized because she is manic depressive.
Deng Guida, 44, director of the business promotion office in Yesanguan, died of injuries and his 41-year-old junior colleague, Huang Dezhi, was injured.
The court ruled that Deng was exempt from punishment because she acted in self-defense although it was excessive, gave herself up to police and had limited legal responsibility.
According to police, Deng Guida and Huang harassed Deng for sex in return for money on the night of the attack, and continued to insult her when she refused.
Deng Guida forced Deng down on to a couch and blocked her from leaving.
Deng attacked the officials with a fruit knife when they approached her threateningly again, thinking they wanted to rape her.
