| Subject: Corrupt Zambia May Drop Shooting Charges Against Chinese Murderers Sun Apr 03, 2011 8:32 am | |
| Zambia's prosecutors want to halt proceedings against two Chinese mine supervisors accused of shooting at least 13 Zambian miners during a wage protest in October, a court official told Dow Jones Newswires Saturday.
Zambia's director of public prosecutions applied in the Livingstone High Court Friday to stay the prosecutions against Xiao Li Shan and Wu Jiu Hua, the former managers at Chinese-owned Collum Coal Mine, due to lack of witnesses.
"The state is no longer interested in the case, but the judge has not yet ruled on the application," the court official said.
The defendants, arrested in October, face 13 counts of attempted murder.
