Last two suspects in Shenzhen landslide arrested

Xinhua, January 19, 2016 Adjust font size:

One of two remaining suspects at large following the deadly Shenzhen landslide has been captured, and the other has surrendered to police, local police said Tuesday.

Long Renfu, one of three fugitive suspects, was arrested on Sunday night in the city of Chenzhou in central China's Hunan Province, about 600 km north of Shenzhen. Two other people who helped shield Long were also arrested.

The three were escorted back to Shenzhen on Monday.

Wang Minghui, the last suspect, gave himself up to Shenzhen police on Tuesday afternoon after returning from Indonesia.

On Saturday, Lin Xixiao turned himself in to the police in Fuqing City, Fujian Province, about 800 km northeast of Shenzhen.

So far, 22 people have been arrested for allegedly failing to ensure safety management, which eventually led to the fatal incident.

The landslide occurred on Dec. 20, when a huge waste pile collapsed and left 69 people dead and eight people missing in the southern Chinese city, which borders Hong Kong.

The incident was the result of work safety mismanagement rather than geological causes, according to a State Council investigation. Endi
