A COUPLE who allegedly attacked six court officials with sulfuric acid on Tuesday over loan disputes were officially detained, a South China court said yesterday.
The Higher People's Court of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region said all injured officials of Changzhou District court were now in stable condition.
But Judge Wu Zhibing and Liao Kedong, head of the district court, who suffered 50 percent burns, were still facing possible blindness.
The two suspects Chen Hongsheng and Liao Fengjuan poured acid over the court officials when they approached the couple on June 8 to enforce a verdict that the couple had ignored for four years, the higher court said.
The two suspects were involved in six loan dispute cases since 2006.
The district court ruled against the couple in all six cases and urged them to pay back the 380,000 yuan (US$55,618) they owed.
After the court tried and failed 15 times to convince the couple to pay back the money, it notified them on May 8 that their house would be auctioned to pay their debts.
The court also offered to buy them a 50 square meter apartment after the debt was paid but the couple refused to move. When the officials turned up at Chen's house, the couple met them with a shower of acid they poured from the second floor, badly injuring Liao and Wu.
