VILLAGERS have accused police of failing to solve rapes in a central China city after two naked teenage girls were rescued from a secret underground dungeon.
Police in Wuhan City refused to comment on the allegations, Beijing News reported today. They rescued two girls, aged 19 and 16, from a secret chamber in Shengyin Village a week after they arrested suspect Zeng Xiangbao for an unrelated rape case.
The girls could have starved to death or drowned as rainwater flowed into the 2.5-meter deep basement, according to a former report.
A doctor in a community hospital nearby said many rapes and robberies had occurred around the village in Hunan Province. Police said they would enhance patrolling on the main streets but no suspects have been arrested, Beijing News said.
A villager said the girls lived in fetid water and the skin on the 16-year-old's back was festering when she was rescued. The two girls were still under police protection and family visits were not allowed.
A group of people sealed off Zeng's house yesterday, claiming they were his relatives, but villagers said they had never met them. The same group attempted to interrupt interviews with villagers.
Zeng dug the basement more than a year ago after he divorced his ex-wife. The 19-year-old girl found in his cellar lived only 200 meters away from Zeng and had been missing since last July.
