Man arrested for causing death of welder

A MAN has been arrested and charged with negligent homicide for the death of a welder, local prosecutors said.

The man, surnamed Jia, took a cylindrical canister that contained magnesium powder, water and sucrose, to a store at Jiuxing construction material market.

He paid 40 yuan (US$6.07) to the female store owner, who was not identified. She asked her employee surnamed Zheng to weld a lid onto the canister. But Zheng was killed after the canister blew up during welding.

Jia told prosecutors he was interested in chemistry and found a way to produce man-made diamond on the Internet. He tried to heat the sucrose to extract the carbon, which is one of the main elements in diamonds.
