「河北孟村“杀妻事件”」“刘铭瑶高考考出600多分，却为与成绩仅300多分的金昊在一起，毅然选择了石家庄的一所普通学院。”、“婚后不到十天，金昊便首次动手。作为孟村县检察院工作人员、练过散打的他，虽然屡次道歉保证不再施暴，但家暴自此成为婚姻常态。”、“腰椎、颈椎、肋骨多处骨折，颅骨破裂，肋骨刺入肺部。指甲缝中满是抠墙留下的白色泥土，显示她在生命最后时刻曾拼命挣扎。”
8月24日，数百人聚集在河北孟村县西赵河村，手持写有“金昊一家杀人偿命”等字样的多条横幅，为一名遭丈夫残忍杀害的年轻女性讨回公道。死者名叫刘铭瑶，在多年家暴的折磨后，最终被丈夫金昊殴打致死。这起案件不仅揭示了从校园爱情滑向家暴与杀戮的绝望轨迹，也将地方权势家族与公权力机构的相互勾结推到舆论的聚光灯下。
据家属及知情者透露，刘铭瑶与金昊曾是高中同学。刘铭瑶高考考出600多分，却为与成绩仅300多分的金昊在一起，毅然选择了石家庄的一所普通学院。这段看似浪漫的“为爱降分”，在婚后却迅速走向崩坏。据刘铭瑶的姑姑回忆，婚后不到十天，金昊便首次动手。作为孟村县检察院工作人员、练过散打的他，虽然屡次道歉保证不再施暴，但家暴自此成为婚姻常态。婚后，刘铭瑶辞职后成为全职母亲，尝试打工实现独立，却被丈夫以“丢人”为由阻止，还长期被控制生活费。朋友说她节俭到不舍得买399元的裙子，几乎所有花销都投入孩子身上。
事件的导火索来自金昊的婚外情。多方消息证实，他与检察院同事发生关系并导致对方怀孕。刘铭瑶得知后，曾亲自求情，希望对方放过自己的家庭，未料这段对话被对方添油加醋地转述给了金昊。8月22日凌晨，酒后的金昊回家后，对刘铭瑶实施了长达数小时的殴打。监控视频显示，两人一同进入电梯回家时，金昊已表现出暴力迹象。面对练过散打、下手极狠的金昊，刘铭瑶无力反抗，直至被打到全身骨折无力动弹。据网友透露，施暴过程中，金昊甚至使用了铁棍。长时间的殴打，导致刘铭瑶腰椎、颈椎、肋骨多处骨折，颅骨破裂，肋骨刺入肺部。指甲缝中满是抠墙留下的白色泥土，显示她在生命最后时刻曾拼命挣扎。但金昊施暴后，竟然倒头就睡，直到22日早晨7点零8分，才打了急救中心的电话，医院的病案记录显示，刘铭瑶被送到医院时，已经是7点41分，呼吸心跳均已停止。“尸体都已经凉了，根本不是抢救无效。” 刘铭瑶的一位朋友透露。刘铭瑶的父亲哽咽表示：“如果半夜打120，我女儿不会死。” 凶手的父母本也可以制止悲剧发生，在事发期间，凶手父母曾到达现场并接走了孩子，但不知道什么原因，惨剧还是发生了。
悲剧发生后，警察的处置过程也让家属和公众对警方的公正性产生强烈怀疑，家属的质疑主要有以下几点：
一、出警延迟：8月22日7:49，刘铭瑶父亲报警，但城关派出所并未立即出警，而是转至刑警队，耽误近一小时。家属发现，从报案到刑警队到医院，有40多分钟空档，且警方未第一时间前往案发现场取证。
二、 取证疑点：警察到场后以“怕破坏现场”为由阻止家属上楼，但金昊的母亲张某却能自由出入。家属怀疑其先一步清理过现场，并在屋内发现擦拭痕迹。
三、证据缺失：金家冰箱上曾有监控设备，但存储卡被拔走；警察甚至一度要求家属自行破解刘铭瑶生前使用的手机。
四、警察失职：凶手被警察控制后，仍能通过手机与外界联系。
知情网友称，金昊父亲曾在体制内工作，人脉广泛，母亲为医院B超医生，家族在当地有一定势力，甚至可能通过关系干预案件。
事件的走向，也证实了家属及网友的猜疑，刘铭瑶被送医时，在有明显的外伤内伤证据下，医院竟然出具了“心梗死亡”的证明。至于当地警方，直至24日，才在家属和网友压力之下抓捕了凶手。
8月24日，孟村县公安局通报称，死者系“钝性外力作用致颅脑损伤死亡”。并抓捕了凶手金昊，同时被抓捕的，还有金昊母亲张某，涉嫌帮助毁灭、伪造证据。
与此同时，网络上相关帖子和新闻报道正被大规模删除，当地网友甚至被警察警告：“不删就抓。” 这种信息封锁也进一步激起了公众的不信任与愤怒。民间质疑的焦点已从家暴导致的悲剧，延伸至地方司法与公权力的公正性。人们担忧，这起案件是否会重蹈以往“家暴成谜案”“权势遮丑案”的覆辙。对许多人而言，刘铭瑶之死不仅是一场家暴所导致的悲剧，更是一面镜子，映照出女性在婚姻、制度与社会权力结构下的脆弱处境。在微博、抖音、小红书等社交平台，尽管大量内容被删，仍有网友以接力留言、截图存档等方式持续发声，要求“彻查到底，还她公道”。
“Hebei Mengcun Wife-Killing Case”
“Liu Mingyao scored over 600 on the college entrance exam, yet chose to attend an ordinary college in Shijiazhuang just to be with Jin Hao, whose score was barely over 300.”
“Less than ten days after their wedding, Jin Hao hit her for the first time. As a staff member of the Mengcun County Procuratorate and a trained sanda (Chinese kickboxing) fighter, he repeatedly apologized and promised to stop, but domestic violence became the norm of their marriage.”
“Her lumbar spine, cervical spine, and ribs were fractured, her skull was shattered, and a rib pierced her lung. The dirt trapped under her fingernails showed she had clawed at the walls desperately in her final moments.”
On August 24, hundreds of people gathered in Xizhaohe Village, Mengcun County, Hebei, holding banners reading “Jin Hao’s family must pay with their lives for murder,” demanding justice for a young woman brutally killed by her husband. The victim, Liu Mingyao, after enduring years of domestic abuse, was beaten to death by her husband, Jin Hao. The case not only revealed the tragic trajectory from campus romance to domestic violence and murder, but also exposed to public scrutiny the collusion between a powerful local family and state authorities.
According to family members and people familiar with the case, Liu and Jin had been high school classmates. Although Liu scored more than 600 points on the college entrance exam, she chose a lesser college in Shijiazhuang to be with Jin, who had only scored in the 300s. What seemed like a romantic “sacrifice for love” quickly collapsed after marriage. Liu’s aunt recalled that within ten days of the wedding, Jin hit her for the first time. As a Mengcun County Procuratorate employee and trained fighter, he repeatedly apologized and swore it would never happen again, but violence became routine. After marriage, Liu quit her job to become a full-time mother. When she tried to work and regain independence, Jin stopped her, saying it was “shameful.” He also controlled the household finances. Friends said she was so frugal she refused to buy a dress that cost 399 yuan, spending almost everything on her child.
The trigger was Jin Hao’s extramarital affair. Multiple sources confirmed he had an affair with a colleague at the Procuratorate and got her pregnant. When Liu found out, she personally begged the woman to leave her family alone. Instead, the woman relayed the conversation to Jin, embellishing it further. On the early morning of August 22, after drinking, Jin returned home and beat Liu for hours. Surveillance footage showed signs of violence already in the elevator as they returned. Against Jin, a trained fighter, Liu was defenseless. According to netizens, he even used an iron rod. The prolonged assault left Liu with spinal, rib, and skull fractures; one rib pierced her lung. Dirt beneath her nails indicated she clawed at the walls in a desperate struggle. After the assault, Jin went to sleep, only calling emergency services at 7:08 a.m. the next morning. By the time Liu reached the hospital at 7:41, she had no heartbeat or breathing. “Her body was already cold, it wasn’t a failed resuscitation,” a friend said. Liu’s father choked up: “If he had called 120 in the middle of the night, my daughter wouldn’t be dead.”
Jin’s parents might also have prevented the tragedy. They were present during the incident and took the child away, yet for unknown reasons did not stop the violence.
The handling of the case by police further fueled public suspicion of corruption and injustice:
- Delayed response: Liu’s father called police at 7:49 a.m. on August 22, but the Chengguan Police Station delayed, passing the case to the Criminal Police Brigade, wasting nearly an hour. There was a 40-minute gap between reporting and hospital transfer, and police failed to secure the crime scene promptly.
- Evidence concerns: Police stopped family members from entering the apartment, claiming they might “contaminate the scene,” but Jin’s mother, Ms. Zhang, was allowed to enter freely. Family suspects she cleaned the scene, and traces of wiping were found.
- Missing evidence: A surveillance recorder once attached to the refrigerator was missing its memory card. Police even asked the family to unlock Liu’s phone themselves.
- Negligence: Even after Jin was detained, he managed to use his phone to contact others.
Netizens claimed Jin’s father had government connections and his mother was a B-ultrasound doctor at a hospital. The family held influence locally and may have interfered in the case.
The trajectory of the case seemed to confirm suspicions: though Liu’s body bore obvious trauma, the hospital initially issued a death certificate citing “heart attack.” Police only detained Jin on August 24, under public pressure.
That day, Mengcun County Public Security Bureau announced that Liu had died from “craniocerebral trauma caused by blunt force.” Jin Hao was arrested, as well as his mother, Ms. Zhang, for allegedly destroying and falsifying evidence.
Meanwhile, online posts and reports about the case were being massively deleted. Local netizens were even warned by police: “If you don’t delete it, you’ll be arrested.” The censorship only deepened public anger and distrust. What began as outrage over domestic violence expanded into doubts about the fairness of local justice and public authority.
For many, Liu Mingyao’s death is not only a tragedy of domestic violence, but also a mirror reflecting the vulnerability of women under marriage, institutions, and entrenched power structures. On platforms like Weibo, Douyin, and Xiaohongshu, despite widespread deletion, netizens continued archiving and reposting, demanding: “Investigate thoroughly and return justice to her.”
