Recently, in Fuyang, Anhui Province, a case of cement-sealed corpse was discovered. The ground, sealed off by a cordon, was excavated to reveal a body.
On May 10th, the mainland’s social media trending topics included multiple discussions about “cement-sealed corpse.” It was rumored online that in a cordoned-off area in Fuyang, Anhui, two firefighters and a worker holding a power drill pried open a cement block on the ground, revealing a corpse within.
In the afternoon of the 10th, the Yingdong Branch of Fuyang Public Security Bureau reported that on May 7th, a resident reported the disappearance of a family member, Mr. Fei. On the 8th, the 47-year-old suspect, Mr. Dong, was arrested.
Mr. Dong admitted to having a friendship with the victim, Mr. Fei. A conflict arose between the two while they were running a fruit business, leading him to kill Mr. Fei and dispose of the body in a cement-filled box thrown into a nearby river.
This incident has sparked discussions among mainland netizens. People expressed shock and disbelief.
“Oh my goodness, who could be so dreadful as to hide a body in a cement block? I heard that cement sealing cannot contain the smell, is that true? So scary.” “This is too frightening.” “I remember some years back there was a case of burying a body in a sports field, it’s like magic.” “The world is really topsy-turvy, resorting to cement-sealing due to a minor business conflict, indeed TV dramas draw from real life, and sometimes life is even scarier than TV dramas.”
Some netizens also said, “No reason justifies criminal actions.”
