China poison accused Jasmine Sun discovered living in Australian coastal town of Port Stephens
From: The Australian
A property investor living in a small NSW town stands accused of being at the centre of a mysterious and deadly poisoning that has enthralled millions in China for 30 years.
Sightings of the woman known as Shiyan “Jasmine” Sun, in Port Stephens, on the northern central NSW coast, have sparked a petition for Anthony Albanese to deport her to China to face questions over the case.
Ms Sun and husband Feiyu “Ringo” Xie have built up a multimillion-dollar property portfolio in the region, but according to campaigners seeking justice for her alleged victim, she is the prime suspect in the 1994 poisoning of her university roommate, Zhu Ling.
Zhu died a month ago, turning the long-running tragedy into a potential homicide investigation.
Campaigners and fellow students have now identified Shiyan Sun as Sun Wei, the woman accused of poisoning Zhu after allegedly becoming jealous of her university roommate's talent, popularity and love life.
They claim she has changed her name, and even her birthday, to shed her previous life as Sun Wei, who was studying chemistry at the university and is believed to have had access to thallium, the highly toxic metal used in the poisoning.
Zhu was left paralysed, almost blind and with the mental capacity of a six-year-old requiring 24-hour care for almost 30 years, sparking a search for justice being conducted by millions of people in China.
But with growing calls for Ms Sun to return to China, sources close to her say she fears for her life.
Ms Sun has declined repeated requests to speak to The Australian, with her husband, Mr Xie, describing her situation as “unfortunate”.
“It's an unfortunate thing for us, but we are not prepared to comment on anything,” he told The Australian last week.
“I want to protect her, I don't think it's a good thing, as you can imagine.”
When told that Zhu's family had many questions, he said: “Of course, then publish their side of the story.”
“We need to protect ourselves,” he said.
Mr Xie said his wife's details, including mobile phone numbers, emails, business and property records had been “exposed” by online Chinese amateur detectives trying to solve the Zhu poisoning.
Chinese “netizens” have been targeting individuals who have personal and business dealings with Ms Sun, urging them not to associate with her in an attempt to force her back to China.
The first evidence of Ms Sun's presence in Australia emerged in 2014 when she purchased three properties in Quakers Hill for $2.11m, before selling them in 2021 and pocketing a tidy $1.47m profit.
In 2015 she purchased a large farm in Booral on the NSW Mid-North Coast before finally settling in the Port Stephens area in 2017.
Now the couple own five properties between them, including a holiday rental and another freshly renovated and on the market.
On their holiday rental listing, they say they enjoy swimming, kayaking and playing at the various beaches in the Port Stephens area, as well as riding bikes to the fish market to buy fresh oysters and watch the pelicans on the dock.
