Girl is Stabbed to Death as Police in Anhui Look On

An incident in which two police officers in Anhui stood by as a 17-year old girl was stabbed to death in a supermarket has sparked outrage. 

The incident occurred on the evening of August 18 in Macheng Township near Bangbu City, Anhui Province. Surveillance footage shows two police officers not intercepting as a man strangles and then stabs to death a female cashier. Only after the assailant stabbed himself, did the police officers move forward to subdue him.

Three days later, the local police bureau issued a comment that acknowledged the police officers’ slow reaction, but stated that their delay was neither due to lack of courage nor fear of death.

It later emerged that the perpetrator, Mr. Shen, was the online boyfriend of the girl, Xiao Hu. As police entered the supermarket, Xiao Hu was already on the ground struggling with Mr. Shen. After stabbing her several times, he then stabbed himself. One of the police officers then sprayed him with pepper spray but he managed to get up and stab Xiao Hu a few more times. Thirty seconds later he fell to the ground again and only then did the police officers manage to properly subdue him.

Xiao Hu’s breathing had already stopped by the time police officers took action, and all attempts to resuscitate her failed.

Nobody expects the Chinese police, there chief weapon is fear and surprise.... and a ruthlessly fanatical devotion to the po... Leader..... They are good at not using their photocopier machine though.
