Thomas Wei Huang (thomas wei huang) is a Malaysian boy studying in the UK. According to news on November 2, local time, the 17-year-old boy was sentenced to life imprisonment at Exeter Crown Court last month, and will need to serve at least 12 years in prison.

On the 1st of this month, the judge announced that the "right to anonymity" previously held by this young man who was in conflict with the law was revoked, and his personal information and appearance were made public.

Thomas, who was born into a wealthy family in Malaysia, was sent to England early and became a student of a well-known public middle school in Devon, namely Blundell's school.

It is reported that Blundell School is a boarding school with a history of 400 years. The annual fee for boarding students is as high as 41,325 pounds (about 380,000 RMB), which is not cheap.

Thomas broke the law in June last year. At almost 1 o'clock in the morning, he used three claw hammers to attack two sleeping roommates (now 16 and 17 years old respectively), and then attacked the dormitory administrator .

The two teenagers who were injured by Thomas with a hammer suffered serious injuries, including skull fractures, rib injuries, spleen injuries, perforated lungs, and internal bleeding, etc. , which is enough to show how vicious Thomas was at that time.

The dormitory administrator Henry Roffe-Silvester was attacked by Thomas when he heard the sound and checked. He was hit on the head six times, but fortunately he was not injured. It was serious, but he recovered quickly.

But the two roommates were not so good. The court heard both boys were suffering the "long-lasting consequences" of the attack and had no memory of the attack. A boy suffered permanent brain damage and remains in a coma after undergoing brain surgery.

Experts have different opinions on Thomas's conviction. In courtDr. Mark Pressman told the jury that the boy may have been sleepwalking because the dormitory administrator described the scene and said "Thomas looked like he was 'Performing a mission', after which his face and body relaxed." Dr. Pressman called this "a classic example of sleepwalking violence."

Another expert, Dr. John O'Reilly, said he did not believe Thomas was asleep at the time because sleepwalkers do not initiate violent behavior in response to noise or touch.

The police officer in charge of investigating the case, Dave Egan, said: "The attack was very cruel, and I have no doubt that he intended to kill."

Thomas himself explained why there was a claw hammer beside the bed, "just in case." ” was attacked by “zombies” and then said he was “very sorry” for the harm he had caused to others. Although he admitted to committing the crime, Thomas pleaded not guilty, claiming that he was "sleepwalking" when he committed the violent act, which led to insanity.

Thomas' defense attorney, Kerim Fuad, described the incident as a "tragic and extraordinary case" and said Thomas had been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. He said Thomas was facing a series of difficulties, including exams, personal life problems and an "unhealthy interest in violence and violent films". "This is a very unhealthy consequence of extreme stress."

But in the end the jury found that Thomas deliberately Found guilty of murder."You knew what was right and what was wrong, but you still deliberately murdered those boys," the judge said during sentencing.”
