Jeffrey Jung 19,680 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 SHISUN VILLAGE, China — The three miners befriended a lonely, luckless man and offered him work down an iron mine in eastern China. After working together for 10 days, the three pushed a 220-pound boulder down a steep tunnel, crushing the man to death. They reported it as an accident. Days later, three men and a woman turned up at the mine, saying they were the dead man’s relatives and demanding compensation. The mine owner offered them $110,000 if they agreed not to report the death to officials. Prosecutors and the police now say that this death, in Shandong Province in 2014, was one of many in which a sophisticated network of grifters dispatched isolated, hard-up men, some mentally impaired, and dressed up their deaths as accidents to swindle compensation from mine owners. The investigation led the police to Shisun Village in southwestern China, where mine murders for cash appear to have become a cottage industry. Of the 74 suspects indicted in late May in 17 killings, up to 40 were from Shisun Village, prosecutors said. The police said they were still investigating reports of 35 more possible victims. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/08/11/world/asia/china-mining-deaths-plot.html?ref=asia&smid=tw-nytimesworld&smtyp=cur&_r=0&referer=https://t.co/SZ5g0Yr6iq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
