Gu Kailai and Zhang Xiaojun were recently charged with murdering a British man by the municipal prosecutors office in the east China city of Hefei, Xinhua news agency learned from authorities yesterday.
The municipal prosecuting body filed the charges with the Hefei Municipal Intermediate People's Court.
Gu is the wife of Bo Xilai, who was dismissed earlier this year as Party chief of Chongqing, and Zhang was their home aide.
The prosecuting body informed the two defendants and family members of the victim of their litigation rights during the investigation period.
The prosecuting body also interrogated the two defendants and heard the opinions of the defense team.
Investigation results showed that Gu and her son, Bo Guagua, had been in conflict with British citizen Neil Heywood over economic interests. Worried about a threat to her son's personal security, Gu, helped by Zhang, is alleged to have poisoned Heywood.
The facts of the two defendants' crime are clear, and the evidence is irrefutable and substantial, prosecutors said. Therefore, the two defendants should be charged with murder.
The court is to hold a trial on a day yet to be decided.
