Waitress assault trial slated to begin

The trial for Deng Yujiao, a waitress who killed one man and injured another, while claiming self-defense from rape, will start early today, local authorities said yesterday.

The incident happened May 10 in Hubei province. The hearing will be in the People's Court of Badong County, Wang Haibo, deputy director of Badong government information office, told China Daily.

"The trial will be open to the public and press, but only a selected group of about 100 people are allowed in as there are too many applicants," he said.
