CHARGES have been filed against three men in central China's Wuhan City over an explosion outside a bank during an attempted robbery that killed two people and left 15 injured.
Wang Haijian, Wang Wei and Wang An'an were charged at Wuhan City's Intermediate People's Court with endangering public security, prosecutors announced yesterday.
The trio are accused of planting homemade explosives to cause the blast outside a China Construction Bank branch in Wuhan, Hubei Province, on December 1 last year.
A 13-year-old girl was one of those killed.
Wang Haijian began making explosives in 2010 and the other suspects joined him to test them, prosecutors claim.
Last July, Wang Haijian decided to hijack a cash transport vehicle by setting off bombs at a bank, and the others agreed to help.
Wang Haijian hid the explosives in front of the bank and detonated them at 5:30pm as clerks were about to load money into a bank vehicle.
In addition to the deaths and injuries, the blast caused damage of around 127,000 yuan (US$20,155), prosecutors said.
A verdict will be announced soon, the court said.
The suspects face life in prison or the death sentence if convicted.
Former air conditioner repairman Wang Haijian was held at a Wuhan hospital, 15 days after the blast.
Police said a 100,000-yuan reward has been paid to residents who provided tip-offs that Wang Haijian may have been involved in the blast.
