17th October 2007, 10:15 WST
The parents of murdered Chinese student Jiao Dan have expressed
their outrage over their daughters death after the man accused of
the killing appeared in court this morning.
Outside the WA Supreme Court, Miss Jiaos father, Jian Jiao, told
reporters the Chinese government and community were all distressed
over his 22-year-old daughters death.
His wife, LiJia Yin, fainted as Mr Jiao called for his daughters alleged killer to be jailed
for life if convicted of the crime. The grieving couple were
then helped away from the media scrum by supporters.
Gwelup cleaner Daniel Adam Wright, 35, was remanded in custody for
further psychiatric testing when he appeared in the WA Supreme
Court this morning charged with one count of wilful murder.
It is alleged Mr Wright murdered Miss Jiao as she walked to her
Innaloo home from the Stirling train station last week.
During the hearing, prosecutors told the court they found further
evidence, including blood stained clothing, during searches
conducted yesterday.
Miss Jiaos body was found by two men who were picking up a work
colleague about 6am on October 9. Mr Wright was arrested and
charged on Friday afternoon.
Mr Wright is due to reappear in the court on October 31.
Even PRC citizens prefer life sentince
for daughter's killer. And to think their country has one of the
highest dexcution rates.
