Police cleared of suspicion

Police authorities in Shenzhen have been doing everything possible to convince a skeptical public that they have conducted a proper investigation into the fatal traffic accident on May 26 that claimed three lives.

A murky cellphone video clip sparked speculation that the driver of a speeding sports car that rear-ended an electric taxi that subsequently burst into flames, killing the taxi driver and two passengers, hired someone to take his place.

But the police authorities have held four press conferences, where they have shown video clips from surveillance cameras, the driver's naked upper-body photos, DNA test results, and, of course, witness accounts, to confirm that the driver being held in custody was the person driving the sports car that caused the tragedy.
