Online Edition
HU Ping, a police officer accused of shooting a pregnant stall holder to death because she had no milk tea to serve him, has been fired, dismissed from the Party and transferred to prosecutors on suspicion of intentional homicide, said the Central Political and Judiciary Commission yesterday.
Also punished were Zhou Xian, the former deputy county chief and police chief of Pingnan County in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and Li Jian, the former political commissar of the police station. They were removed from their positions in the Party and government. Other people found to have responsibility in the case were punished under Party rules and state law, the commission said.
The incident happened on the evening of October 28. Hu, a deputy leader of a police squad in Pingnan who got drunk while assisting with an investigation, shot Wu Ying, a pregnant noodle stall holder, after she rejected Hu’s request for milk tea. Wu told him that the stall did not serve milk tea, Beijing Youth Daily reported.
Wu was pronounced dead at a local hospital. Her 5-month-old fetus did not survive, either, the newspaper said. Cai Shiyong, Wu’s husband, was also shot in the shoulder by Hu but survived.
According to a police statement, Hu opened fire because he quarreled with Wu, but Cai denied that, according to Beijing Youth Daily.
Police investigators said Hu violated regulations banning alcohol consumption when armed, the newspaper reported.
A local restaurant confirmed that Hu and others had drunk a large amount of liquor.
