Suspect son cannot collect on murdered mom’s life insurance: court papers

A Brooklyn man can’t collect on his mother’s insurance because the NYPD hasn’t cleared him in her stabbing death eight years ago, according to court papers.

Jian Liang Dong’s mother, Xiu Fang Jian, 45, and another woman were found dead in the Classon Avenue warehouse where they worked in March 2006. The NYPD says the homicides remain unsolved.

Jian Liang Dong wrote to Met Life in 2011 and insisted he should get his half of his mom’s $300,000 life insurance policy, which his mom purchased in 2001. Half the money was paid to his underage sister in 2011.

MetLife is asking a Manhattan Supreme Court judge to decide what happens to the $300,000 cash, say court papers.

Dong said he’s given DNA and his fingerprints to police and has “been ruled out of this murder case involvement [sic] since day one,” according to the letter he sent to the insurance company.

But in May, a detective confirmed to Met Life “that Dong was not ruled out as a suspect in the homicide,” according to the legal filing.

Dong told Met Life he’d checked on the investigation many times but it’s still unsolved.

“The original officer who handled the case was resigned [sic], the second officer was died [sic] due to heart attacked [sic], and now is handled by a third officer who was assigned to the case, and the case is still remain open and unsolved [sic],” Dong claimed in court papers.
