A lawyer for a man accused in the slaying of West Vancouver millionaire Gang Yuan conceded Monday that his client shot and killed the victim but claimed he was provoked and therefore did not have the intent for murder.
The trial heard that Zhao and Yuan lived together in the West Vancouver mansion along with Zhao’s wife, who was a cousin of Yuan, and that the two men were business associates. Donaldson said Yuan then responded with a remark that he would like to marry Zhao’s daughter, a comment that enraged and upset the accused, who called Yuan a “beast.”
For a “normal, healthy, well-adjusted, pro-social individual” to be driven to shoot and kill his wife’s cousin in the driveway of the home when his wife was out for a walk speaks volumes about what must have happened, he said.
