Beijing, Sept 26 (ANI): The police chief of a Central Chinese city has apologized over a case in which a man allegedly detained six women as sex slaves In an underground prison for two years, killing two of them.
Guo Congbin, director of the public security bureau of Luoyang, Henan province, told a news conference last weekend that four district police officials had been suspended for negligence, reports China Daily.
He apologized on Saturday to local residents, saying police "should have detected the crime earlier had they done their work more meticulously".
Guo acknowledged that there had been "insufficient communication" with media about the case, but stressed this was because it needed to be investigated further. Regulations had been followed, he said.
The suspect, Li Hao, 30, a former firefighter, was detained on Sept 3, but the case was only made public after Southern Metropolis News in Guangzhou reported it on Thursday.
"We failed to let the public know in time what they should know about the case," Guo said.
Guo promised to reinforce public security so similar crimes could not be committed, starting with a "crackdown" in the city. (ANI)
