Eight officials have been removed from their posts or placed under investigation over a property row in east China's Jiangxi Province that left an elderly man dead and two others injured after setting themselves on fire.
The three staged their tragic protest on September 10 when confronting workers who planned to demolish their house to make way for the construction of a bus station in the Fenggang Township, Yihuang County, Fuzhou City.
Workers from the local construction department visited Zhong Rukui's residence and tried to convince the family to accept compensation.
Three family members appeared and began to threaten the workers that they would douse their bodies with gasoline and set themselves alight.
The three -- Luo Zhifeng, Ye Zhongcheng and Zhong Ruqin -- then carried out the threat.
They were taken to hospital where Ye, 79, died yesterday morning. The others are still being treated at the No. 1 Hospital Affiliated to the Nanchang University.
Eight officials, including the Party chief of the county, the head and deputy head of the county government, as well as principal officials from local departments of housing administration, construction, transport and public security, have been removed from their posts or placed under investigation, a spokesman for Fuzhou municipal government said.
The provincial government has ordered all-out efforts to treat the injured, he said.
