Prisoner's death leads to police suspension

Two police officers in a detention center in Rushan City of eastern China's Shandong Province have been suspended from work after an inmate in the center was found dead with "needle injuries," authorities said yesterday.

The public security bureau in Weihai, which has jurisdiction over Rushan, confirmed that the head of the detention center and a policemen on duty have been suspended from their post and are under investigation.

The detainee identified as Yu Weiping was found dead by other inmates on November 13, 2009. An autopsy report by the Ministry of Justice's State Forensic Medicine Service showed that Yu's heart had suffered lethal injuries from a needle-like instrument.

An investigation team comprised of officials from the Weihai municipal procuratorate and anti-misprision authorities have spent months in the death probe without a conclusion.
