In May of 2015 Li Zhao 赵丽 had 42 year old Gang Yuan from China in his West Vancouver mansion and fatally shot him and then chopped him up into pieces. Zhao and Yuan also at one point lived together in Saskatchewan. Zhao was married to Yuan’s cousin.
The two got into an argument over business investments and the fact that Yuan wanted to marry Zhao’s 26 year old daughter, Ultra Rich Asians reality tv star Florence Zhao. Saying he could get Zhao shares in companies “if” he let him marry his daughter. The argument became to pushing and shoving until Zhao grabbed a hammer. After fighting quickly Zhao got a rifle loaded it with ammo and pointed it Yuan telling him not to move. But Yuan eventually grabbed the hammer and threw it at Zhao which startled him and he shot Yuan. Zhao’s wife and her elderly mother had been taking a walk, but returned to find the aftermath of the shooting. Zhao told them to take a walk and then dragged Yuan’s body to the garage. The family’s nanny also later came into the garage at one point, but couldn’t see exactly what he was doing. He said he had been hunting a bear. After that Zhao used a power saw and chopped Yuan into about 100 pieces which took at least 6-12 hours. When Zhao’s wife left she did phone the police. Zhao had took a nap after chopping up Yuan and was thinking about bagging him up and putting him the freezer. The police eventually phone Zhao’s home and told him to come outside.
Zhao, who speaks little English admitted to the crimes he showed no remorse. It was also said that Zhao at age 54 when the crime occurred he had never even been in a fist fight in his life. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison
