Dad asks for Hangzhou 'arson' evidence

Lin Shengbin, who lost his wife and three children in a Hangzhou apartment fire allegedly started by their nanny, has called on authorities to reveal whether the fire department or property manager were at fault in the tragedy.

In an open letter released via Sina Weibo on Monday, Lin requested access to nine pieces of information, including the findings of a joint investigation by the Hangzhou and Zhejiang provincial fire bureaus.

Lin's wife, Zhu Xiaozhen, and their three children, ages 6, 8, and 11, died on June 22 when flames tore through their 18th-floor home. Mo Huanjing, who worked for the family as a nanny, is accused of starting the blaze.
