Ex-Party official confesses: I killed my demanding mistress

A FORMER district Party chief in Wenzhou confessed that he killed his mistress after he was arrested over a missing female official.

The missing Shao Huiling, 33, had been the open lover of Xie Zaixing, the arrested Party boss of Wenzhou's Ouhai District for more than seven years, an anonymous insider told China News Service yesterday.

Xie allegedly told police during investigations that he killed Shao because he fell in love with another woman and Shao nagged him to end that relationship.

He said Shao was killed in Hangzhou and her body was thrown into the sea near Wenzhou.

Police are trying to find the remains of the woman, missing since last November, in coastal waters.

The 48-year-old district chief met Shao during his tenure as deputy Party chief in Sanmen County of Wenzhou. Xie helped her get a job in the provincial capital of Hangzhou and frequently visited her.

A senior official in Ouhai District said Xie always spent his weekends in Hangzhou, where Shao lived.

The official said a young woman often answered Xie's cell phone when he was in Hangzhou on weekends. He said this woman sounded like Shao.

Xie was sacked and expelled from the local committee of the National People's Congress on Tuesday.

Police said Xie might be involved in other economic crimes while a letter from a whistle blower said he was also tied up in illegal land transactions and selling official posts for bribes. Local police are still investigating

A former lawmaker in east China's Shandong Province, Duan Yihe, was executed in September 2007 for ordering an assassin to kill his mistress with a car bomb and taking huge bribes.

Duan was the former chairman of the National People's Congress of Jinan. He began to keep Liu Haiping as his mistress in 2000.

Duan confessed in court that he was fed up with Liu who asked him for apartments and jobs for her relatives, kept pushing him for more material benefits and threatened to tell authorities about their relationship.
