China wife shocked to learn that ‘People’s Armed Police officer’ husband is convicted murderer
‘Disgusted’ wife of fraudster introduced to her by an uncle discovers that he is serving a suspended death sentence; has child with another woman
A Chinese woman who thought she married and had a child with a People’s Armed Police (PAP) officer found out seven years later that he was in fact a convicted murderer.
In 2014, a woman in northern China’s Hebei province, who uses the pseudonym Pang, married a PAP officer, Jia Bin, who had been introduced to her by her uncle.
The couple soon had a son but Jia spent a dwindling amount of time at home, saying he was on “special missions”.
He initially disappeared for days, then for months before completely vanishing in 2017.
China’s People’s Armed Police is a paramilitary force responsible primarily for internal security, riot control, counterterrorism and maritime law enforcement. The force provides support to the People’s Liberation Army during wartime.
Pang said she did not check Jia’s personal documents fearing it might anger him. She also dared not contact the “unit” he said he belonged to.
Pang added that she grew up in a single-parent family and wanted her child to grow up with a father.
