Punish all involved in discipline official's murder

Fan Jiadong, a Party discipline official at Qing'an, Northeast China's Heilongjiang province, died in hospital after he was attacked in the street by a group of masked men. The attack happened after he went to Beijing to report the corruption of local officials, who say they have made no progress in discovering the identity of the attackers. Comments:

There is yet no solid evidence, but it is an essential clue that Fan reported local officials' corruption before being attacked. Will the local police, who themselves might be involved in the corruption, investigate his death properly? It is necessary for higher level police to intervene so as to ensure a fair investigation. The higher authorities also need to accelerate a disciplinary investigation into the corruption, so that local officials get their deserved punishments if they are found to be corrupt.
