THE family of a villager leader killed in a controversial road accident in Yueqing County in Zhejiang Province has reached a compensation agreement with the driver, a quarry and a mine as the three parties agreed to pay 1.05 million yuan (US$159,417).
Fei Liangyu, the driver, will pay about 300,000 yuan while the two companies will pay the rest to "comfort the family" - although there was no official ruling for them to do so - after a truck knocked down Qian Yunhui on December 25 last year.
Villagers suspected Qian was murdered because he had petitioned over a land seizure and accused officials of malpractice. Police confirmed the case was an accident.
Qian Chengxu, son of the victim, said he was told to go to Puqi Town's government to negotiate the sum of compensation on Monday night. Qian Chengxu said he didn't know how the 1.05 million yuan was calculated.
According to his wife Qian Shuangping, it was the first time that local officials had discussed compensation.
When asked whether the agreement suggested the family accepted the conclusion of the case, she said, "No matter if we agree (to the -compensation) or not, it has changed nothing."
