Alleged double killer to stand trial

PROSECUTORS have filed a case against a man implicated in a murder 28 years ago.

Qingpu District People’s Procuratorate transferred the case to the No. 2 Branch of Shanghai People’s Procuratorate on Tuesday.

Qingpu prosecutors said Wang was implicated in the death of a 3-month-old girl and her mother in Qingpu on June 14, 1990. After being at large for 28 years, he was tracked down and apprehended in Anhui Province in March.

Wang, then a vocational school student aged 18, had been taken several times to the woman’s home by his classmate, her brother-in-law, to play video games. One day, he skipped class and sneaked into the house alone. Hearing him in the living room, the woman started to scream, prosecutors said.

Wang feared that she would alert others and smothered her. Hearing the baby crying in the bedroom, he threw her into the wardrobe to silence her, prosecutors said.

Wang then left Shanghai.

Facial recognition technology led to the discovery of the owner of three restaurants in Anhui Province this year, living with a false name and ID.
