SIX suspects who shot dead a well-known wildlife protection activist 17 years ago in Hoh Xil, a vast nature reserve in northwest Qinghai Province, have surrendered themselves to police.
Suonandajie was a government official of Zhiduo County and a volunteer patrol in the desolate and frigid Hoh Xil to protect endangered Tibet antelopes from poachers. He was killed in a gun battle with poachers in 1994, the Beijing Times reported today.
Suonandajie and his four team members caught 20 poachers and confiscated seven pickup trucks loaded with more than 1,800 pieces of antelope hide on January 18, 1994. But he was later ambushed by 18 poachers and was shot dead, the report said.
When people found his body, it was already frozen stiff but maintained the shooting posture, according to the report.
Police never stopped searching for his killers and talked to the suspects' families many times to persuade them to surrender. Six suspects turned themselves in recently and another three remained in hiding.
Despite its harsh climate, Hoh Xil is a wildlife paradise and home to more than 230 animal species.
