Dismembered Corpse Found at Guangzhou Industrial Site
MPS Initially Baffled by Grisly Crime Scene
MPS officers assess the macabre remains. A freelance photographer was able to capture this photo of a tattoo seen on the neck of the victim’s severed head.
Guangzhou, PRC (UPI)
In the early hours, before dawn had broken on this industrial sector of the Guangdong province on Tuesday morning, a security guard was confronted with a horrifying tableau. Dismembered parts of a young, female corpse lay strewn across the asphalt expanse of a parking lot, the methodical aftermath of a violent homicide.
Agents of the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) swarmed the site within the hour, sealing it off from onlookers, and beginning the tedious task of cataloging evidence that would shock even the most hardened law enforcement veterans. “Things like this just do not happen in China,” said Principal Investigator Han Qigang. “This is the type of crime one might expect to see committed in the United States, but not here.”
The incident has evoked painful memories of another heinous crime committed in this region in July of 2014 — the mass murder at the GUI manufacturing plant, which occured less than one kilometer from this site.
One image has been leaked from the
crime scene. Before his camera was seized, a freelance photographer transmitted the image pictured above (inset) of a large tattoo emblazoned on what he described as the neck of the victim’s severed head. (GNN has chosen to obscure part of that image to protect its readers.)
More than one person has observed the resemblance between the tattoo and a key element of the GUI logo — a symbol often found imprinted on the chip manufacturer’s products.
It is perhaps this geographic link that prompted the national police to immediately take charge of the investigation from the local authorities.
