I was reading this Googler's blog and came across a very disturbing article (in Mandarin) from last February. Apparently, a female employee at Baidu, the hot Chinese search company, was sleeping in a company conference room, where she was later raped and murdered by one of the security guards on duty.
In the evening of February 17 of this year, Han Wang was on duty when he learned that company employee Pingping (name changed) was sleeping in the conference room due to working overtime. After 1am on the 18th, Han stripped off his clothes outside the conference room, swiped his cardkey, and went inside.
When he removed Pingping's clothes with malicious intentions, he startled Pingping awake. Pingping ran outside loudly screaming for help. Han followed her and stabbed her numerous times, causing her death.
I can't believe this happened. Heh, I wish I were completely fluent in reading Mandarin to find any follow-up stories. I'm more interested in seeing how the case was handled by the company but failed in my Google search attempts. I know that the Chinese legal system is a total disaster, so I'm not even sure what the consequences are. Anyone know what would happen if this occurred in US firm?
