Three teens have been detained over the gruesome murder of a thirteen-year-old boy in China. Authorities identified the victim only by his last name, Wang.
In the last recorded moments before the 13-year-old boy's death, he was filmed by surveillance cameras sitting on a scooter, surrounded by three of his classmates. An hour later, his phone went dead, kicking off a frantic search by relatives. The following day, officers in a village in central China made a sickening discovery: the boy's body, buried in an abandoned vegetable greenhouse underneath a tarp.
Police in Feixiang district of Handan city identified the boy only by his last name, Wang. In a short statement Sunday they said the boy was killed on March 10 and that the suspects were detained the following day. Wang’s relatives and their attorney said in interviews with local outlets and in posts on social media that the boy had long been a victim of bullying, and was forced to give money to one of his classmates before he was killed.
number for the Hebei publicity department rang unanswered, and a faxed request for comment did not go through because the line was busy. A number for the principal of the school the boy attended rang unanswered, as did numbers for relatives of two of the suspects. A public statement from local police Sunday asked the public not to 'spread rumors' to protect the victim’s privacy and 'avoid further harm' to the boy’s family.
