Official 鈥榳as drowned鈥 by investigators
Print Edition
An official is alleged to have been drowned by investigators who stripped him naked and held him down in a bathtub as they attempted to extort a confession to corruption, The Beijing Times reported yesterday.
Yu Qiyi was held down in a tub full of “icy water” several times after questioning failed to produce satisfactory answers, the newspaper said, citing a court filing by prosecutors.
The investigators only stopped when Yu, 42, chief engineer of a state-owned company in the eastern city of Wenzhou, stopped struggling, the report said. He was taken to hospital but died a few hours later.
A post-mortem showed he had been made to “imbibe liquids” that caused pulmonary dysfunction and eventually his death, according to a photograph of a forensic document carried by the newspaper.
Relatives also found multiple bruises on his body after his death in April, it added. Yu had been detained since early March over suspected wrongdoings in a land deal, the report said.
The investigators who interrogated Yu — five from the local department of the Party’s discipline inspection authorities and a local prosecutor — have been charged with intentional injury and a trial is pending.
“Yu Qiyi was a strong man before he was detained ... but was skinny when he died,” the dead man’s wife Wu Qian was quoted as saying by the newspaper.
