'Sex assault' led to Deng's hotel attack

A woman accused of fatally stabbing an official and injuring another will allege the men sexually assaulted her before the attack.

Lawyers Xia Lin and Xia Nan met with 21-year-old Deng Yujiao on Thursday - 11 days after she allegedly used a fruit knife to attack Deng Guida and Huang Dezhi at Badong's Xiongfeng Hotel.

The attack allegedly happened after Deng, a hotel employee, refused demands for sex from Deng, 44, the director of the business promotion office in Yesanguan, and his 44-year-old junior colleague Huang.
