Girlfriend of China's 'serial homicidal thief' stands trial (2)

Zhang collected information on the police search for Zhou and informed Zhou via text messages and phone calls, the prosecutors said.

Zhang also gave Zhou a tube of red lipstick on Aug. 11, which he used to disguise himself when police launched a nationwide manhunt for him.

The procurators said Zhang had committed crimes of abetting a criminal and concealing and hiding illicit money.

Zhang's lawyer said she may be mentally disturbed, as she has epilepsy.

Her lawyer said Zhang needs to take medicine every day, but she failed to take it on Aug. 14, the day she was arrested.

But the procurators provided a psychiatric evaluation report saying Zhang was not affected by mental illness from June 10 to Aug. 14. The procurators also provided an interrogation video taken on Aug. 17, which showed that Zhang was in a normal state of mind.

The judges did not reach a verdict on Tuesday.
