A COUPLE who allegedly attacked six court officials with sulfuric acid last Tuesday were officially detained, a South China court said today.
The Higher Court of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region said all injured officials of Changzhou District court were now in a stable condition. But Judge Wu Zhibing and Liao Kedong, head of the district court who suffered 50 percent burns, are still facing possible blindness.
The two suspects Chen Hongsheng and Liao Fengjuan poured acid over the court officials when they approached the couple on June 8 to enforce a verdict which the couple has ignored for four years, the higher court said.
The two suspects were involved in six loan dispute cases since 2006. The district court ruled against the couple in all six cases and urged them to pay back the 380,000 yuan (US$55,618) they owed.
After the district court tried and failed 15 times to convince the couple to pay back the money, the court notified them on May 8 that their house would be auctioned to pay their debts.
The court also offered to buy them a 50 square-meter apartment after the debt was paid but the couple refused to move.
When the officials turned up at Chen's house, the couple welcomed them with a shower of acid rain they poured from the second floor, badly injuring Liao and Wu.
Wu's wife is expecting a baby this month and has no idea how badly her husband is injured, China News Service reported today.
The attack happened only one week after a man shot three judges to death and wounded another three in a central China court.
Zhu Jun, a 46-year-old head of security squad in Hunan Province, barged into Lingling District Court in Yongzhou City armed with a shotgun and two pistols on June 1. Zhu put a bullet in his own head after the rampage.
It was reported that Zhu has held a grudge against the court over a divorce verdict three years ago.
