Police in north China's Shanxi Province have detained a woman who allegedly tortured her 7-year-old stepdaughter to death.
The girl, identified as Xiao Ran, had bruises and burns all over her body and blood filled her belly which suffered blunt blows, an autopsy revealed. Doctors said she died of septic shock due to abdomen infections.
The woman surnamed Li was also found to have stabbed the girl's palm, back and abdomen with an awl, bashed her face with a board, tied her neck with a rope, and burned her buttocks, according to news website www.voc.com.cn.
The revelation triggered nationwide outrage with many Internet users questioning why no one took any action to stop the woman's atrocity in the past two years.
The girl's biological father surnamed Shen admitted that he saw the girl's injuries but did not give much thought to them. "Li is very bad-tempered," Shen told a reporter for www.voc.com.cn.
The girl's grandmother said Li always locked her room when she tortured the small girl to avoid alarming others. "She always abused me with malicious words and hated me for protecting my granddaughter."
The girl's teachers also knew her sufferings and wanted to report to the local women's association. But Li said the association wasn't qualified to handle her family issue. "I won't be sentenced to death even if I killed her," she was heard saying.
