山西男童被挖眼案告破 嫌犯系其伯母
Local police in Fenxi county, Shanxi province, have said that the suspect responsible for gouging out the eyes of a 6-year-old boy called Binbin is his aunt.
The 41-year-old woman killed herself by jumping into a well located in the courtyard of her own home on Friday. She was named as the suspect after a series of lab tests confirmed the woman’s DNA at the scene. Police also found the boy’s blood on her clothes.
Binbin was found unconscious near his home late at night on August 24th. His eyeballs were found at the scene, along with his corneas, dismissing the possibility of organ trafficking as a reason behind the attack.
