27 arrested after toxic waste kills man
Print Edition
POLICE in north China’s Hebei Province have busted two groups responsible for discharging toxic waste, with one responsible for the death of a restaurant owner, officials said yesterday.
Twenty-seven suspects who dumped more than 3,400 tons of toxic waste have been arrested and 20 companies implicated.
On May 18 last year, the owner of a restaurant near a parking lot in Baoding’s Lixian County died after inhaling poisonous gas. An investigation found that the parking lot operator had allowed illegal dumping of waste liquid in the lot.
Police broke up a group who were responsible for dumping waste at the lot on that day. But their investigations found they were not responsible for the waste that caused the death.
Police later apprehended another group of people who dumped waste acid at different venues in the county, including the parking lot, between August 2014 and May 2015, and identified their waste as the cause of death.
Last year in Hebei, 2,025 people were arrested for environmental pollution.
