A 58-YEAR-OLD woman with hypertension died on Wednesday in Sichuan after police cuffed her hands behind her back and dragged her more than 100 meters,
a local newspaper reported yesterday.
Police decided to arrest Shu Xuebin after she attacked a neighbor because relatives say he failed to keep his promise for her niece's wedding and the family lost face, according to the Leshan Evening News report.
Shu's relatives said they asked a neighbor, Zhang Xiaoping, to let them use his yard for her niece Huang Kang's wedding. Zhang agreed but closed his gate on the day without explanation, which forced Huang to have her wedding on the footpath.
The next morning a fight broke out between Shu and her relatives and Zhang's family.Three policemen were unable to control the situation so they attempted to handcuff and remove Shu and her sister.
Shu's relatives said they told police Shu had hypertension but they ignored. When Shu had been dragged about 20 meters, her niece saw she had gone pale and limp.
Relatives say two policemen continued to drag Shu and she started foaming at the mouth. Policemen then removed the handcuffs but she was already unconscious.
Policemen sent Shu to the local hospital. The hospital announced her death early the next morning.
Shu's relatives and police disagree about the cause. The relatives believe she died from "ruthless execution of law."
Police say they were detaining Shu when someone yelled out "she's sick" and Shu sat on the ground so they sent her to hospital.
The hospital said Shu died of respiratory and circulatory failure, caused by a brain hemorrhage. Local authorities have organized a team to investigate the case.
