Official detained in strangling death of his wife

A government official in Heilongjiang Province, northeast China has been detained after his daughter reported that he strangled her mother to death, according to news on Dahe.cn.

Her mother's body had strangling marks around the neck and congestion was found in her throat and lungs, police said.

Yao Guangwu, an official at the Shuanghe Township Government in Suiyuan City, was seen by his daughter beating her mother in a family dispute last Sunday night.

The 19-year-old daughter found her mother breathing feebly and asked her father to call the ambulance. Yao only made an effort to wake up his wife and didn't take her to a hospital. His wife stopped breathing half an hour later.

The daughter asked her boyfriend to post online that her father had killed her mother, and the police were alerted.
