Course of true law

The rule of law has prevailed and justice appears to be on course.

After investigation, excessive self-defense is the charge that has been finally filed by a higher-level public security department against hotel pedicurist Deng Yujiao. The case has been shifted to local prosecutor's office for further legal proceedings.

Early last month, Deng allegedly killed an official with a fruit knife when he asked her for "special service" and humiliated her when she turned him down. The local police of Badong county first charged her with the crime of intentional murder when the case was still under investigation. This triggered a heated debate both online and in the print media.
