Chinese Assistant FM Meets German Diplomat on Murder Case

Chinese Assistant Foreign Minister Ma Canrong had a meeting with Herbert Jess, charge d'affaires ad interim of the German embassy in China Monday afternoon, to express deep condolences on the murders of the family of Pfrang Jurgen Hermann in the early hours of Sunday in Nanjing.

Ma also expressed sincere solicitude to the relatives of the deceased, saying that Pfrang Jurgen Hermann was highly appreciated by relevant Chinese departments because of his positive efforts and major contributions to Sino-German economic and technological cooperation over the years.

Ma added he hoped that the incident would not affect the normal operation of Sino-German economic and technological cooperation. The Chinese side would like to cooperate with the German side to effectively handle the problems arising from the incident. The victims, including Pfrang Jurgen Hermann, deputy general manager of Yaxing-Benz, a Sino-German automotive joint venture in the city of Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province, and his wife, son and daughter, were killed in their house in what is thought to have been a burglary.

Four suspects in the case, who are from Shuyang County in east China's Jiangsu Province, have been arrested and have confessed to the murders.

China's judicial departments will severely punish the murderers according to the law. Relevant departments of Jiangsu and Nanjing have informed German General Consulate in Shanghai of the progress of the investigation.
