Help sought for left-behind children

Governments should take more responsibility in looking after children to avoid tragedies when their parents have to be away from home, experts said on Friday.

They were commenting after police said that two men suspected of murdering two siblings at their home in Zhongxin village in Bijie, Guizhou province, were captured on Thursday.

The suspects had confessed to killing the 15-year-old girl and her 12-year-old brother while the children's father and elder sister were not at home on Tuesday, police said.
