7 arrested following demolition site death
Print Edition
SEVEN people have been arrested after a body was found last month in the debris of a demolished home in the central city of Changsha, prosecutors said yesterday.
Li Jun, former Communist Party of China Guanshaling community head in the district of Yuelu in Changsha, was among those arrested for abuse of power or dereliction of duty on July 28 and 29, according to a statement issued by Changsha People’s Procuratorate.
The other suspects include four lower-level community officials or employees, the current Party chief, and the head of Chazishan Village, according to the statement.
On July 7, the body of a woman was found in demolition debris in Chazishan. It is alleged that there had been a dispute between the homeowners and the demolition crew.
Investigators confirmed that the woman had been crushed to death. According to Yang Quan, who claims to be the son of the deceased, his mother, Gong Xuehui, 60, had not been seen since the demolition on June 16. Her body was found weeks later after her son hired an excavator to search through the debris.
Yang alleges that on June 16 hundreds of people barged into his home and tried to remove the family, including Gong, from the premises.
He told Beijing News that they were locked in a car until their home had been leveled.
The report said the family failed to reach an agreement on compensation with the authority managing the demolition.
