Hospital blast suspect turns himself in
(Shanghai Daily) Updated: 2006-04-13 16:40 Wang Jinsheng, the suspect believed to be
responsible for an explosion in a mining company's medical center, turned
himself in to Shuozhou police in Shanxi Province at 5:30am today, the Ministry
of Public Security said. The cause for the blast remains under investigation.
The early morning blast leveled the structure and damaged a nearby five-story
building. The explosion at the medical center, run by the Xuangang Coal and
Electricity Co, killed 31 people and injured more than 40 on Monday.
An initial investigation found that Wang Jinsheng, an administrative officer
for the company who previously operated private coal mines, moved dozens of
boxes into the garage 10 days before the blast.
Authorities said Wang disappeared after the blast, and police issued a
nationwide arrest warrant for him.
