A plumber has been detained on suspicion of murder after he allegedly killed his coworker and left the body in a waste water tank on the roof of a residential complex in Minhang District, police said last night.

Wang was quickly apprehended on the day of the discovery, said police officer Hou -Jianhua last night.
