Teacher killer stands trial in BeijingPosted by Eric Mu on Tuesday, July 7, 2009 at 5:35 PM
Fu Chengli, formerly a student at the China University of Political Science and Law, stood trial yesterday on the charge of murdering Cheng Chunming, a law professor at the same university. According to a report in The Beijing News, Fu admitted his crime willingly in the course of the investigation but showed no remorse. He insisted that Cheng took sexual advantage of his ex-girlfriend by exploiting his position and said that Cheng did not deserve to be a teacher. Fu also stated that he hoped that Cheng's death would serve as a warning to others. Fu's girlfriend said that her relationship with Cheng, which lasted for a year, was consensual. The court has not reached a verdict. The headline about Fu appeared on a front page dominated, like most newspapers across the country, by news of the riots in Urumqi that began over the weekend. The top headline in this paper reads "Full efforts to track down violent criminals" and is followed by the subhead, "140 dead, over 800 wounded in Urumqi riot; Using the Shaoguan Incident as an excuse, Rebiyа Kаdeer incited unrest; Hundreds of participants arrested." Xinhua's latest figures a death toll of 156. Inside, the newspaper provided more details on the "Shaoguan Incident":
A reprint of a Xinhua report quoted Ma Pinyan, a researcher at the Xinjiang Academy of Social Sciences, who echoes the official line first given by Nur Bekri yesterday:

They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.
