WeChat account for females shut down over murder comments

A popular WeChat account aimed at female users has been shut down after it was accused of posting vulgar content related to the apparent sexual assault and killing of a flight attendant by a Didi Chuxing driver.

The woman, surnamed Li, 21, who worked for Lucky Airlines, used the ride-hailing app's "hitch" service late on May 5 to travel from the airport to a train station in Zhengzhou, Henan province.

She was picked up by 27-year-old driver Liu Zhenhua, who police say drove Li to a deserted spot 15 kilometers away and killed her, before dumping her partially clothed body.
