THE parents of a three-year-old girl whose body was dumped into the sea off an eastern city said the entire family agreed to the action after the child died following a beating from her mother - the motive for the regular beatings was that the parents wanted a boy.
The mother, surnamed Zhao, admitted beating her daughter after the girl refused to eat dinner on November 12. The girl then went to the toilet and was found dead one hour later, reported the Guangzhou Daily.
That night, the family- gathered and made a decision to throw the corpse into sea to destroy the evidence. The father and grandfather put the body into a bag, tied it with bricks and the parents dumped it into the sea off Xiamen City in Fujian Province on the morning of November 13.
Zhao and her husband surnamed Zheng have been detained by Xiamen police. Zhao admitted frequently abusing the girl because her birth "disappointed" the couple, who were eager for a boy, the newspaper said.
Police arrested the couple in Jiangxi Province on November 29, with the help of their microblog - t.sina.com/xmpolice - through which they were tipped-off of the girl's identity and her parents' whereabouts.
