China Wal-Mart employees detained in shopper's death
 

BEIJING (Reuters) - Two Wal-Mart China employees were detained in southern China following the death of a customer, whom employees followed and pushed to the ground after suspecting her of shoplifting, according to a police website.

Yu Xiaochun died last Wednesday, three days after she was injured in a dispute with five Wal-Mart workers after shopping in a Wal-Mart store, the official website for the Jingdezhen city police from southern Jiangxi province said. (www.jdz110.com)

Wal-Mart confirmed that an "incident" occurred near their Jingdezhen store between two security employees and a 37-year old female "visitor," who later died.

"The incident and cause of death is the subject of an investigation," said Wal-Mart in a statement.

"The company is fully cooperating with the relevant authorities and will release further details as it is appropriate," said the retailing giant.

Five store employees followed Yu and stopped her in the street on suspicion that she had stolen goods while shopping at the Wal-Mart store, the police said in the statement.

Police had formally arrested two of the five, but later released the three others for unknown reasons, the official China Daily reported on Tuesday.

Yu refused to show a receipt to prove she had made the purchases because the Wal-Mart employees were not wearing store uniforms when they confronted her, according to the newspaper.

In the ensuing scuffle, Yu was pushed to the ground and injured, it said.

Yu's husband complained that Wal-Mart did not apologize or offer any compensation for his wife's death, the newspaper said.

I can just picture Yu's husband smirking and demanding a monetary compensation.

i can just picture you being a fat loser cop wannabe.

see how jumping to idiotic conclusions makes a person look like a douche?

thers a walmart in china? wonder what they got in there

same stuff here,

with Chinese label

walmart in mexico has the exact same shit that we have here

I guess all Wal Marts sell pretty much the same stuff.

LOL. He's actually not fat at all.



but on a side note, ya in china if u steal, be ready to get ur ass beat or hands cut off, pushed to the ground is minor, too bad she died though. I think there is more to this story than just her being pushed to the ground.

+1

the one i went to sold live seafood, cooked food etc...

so imagine a typical walmart plus t&t.

You're jumping to a stupid conclusion as well.

Anyway, it's common for companies to not apologize or whatever in China. :/

^ he's trying to prove a point...

WTF there is wal-mart in china? lol



everything must be MADE IN CHINA yo

so 5 guys not in walmart uniforms followed a lady outside of the store and stopped her in the middle of the street and demanded a receipt... then proceeded to beat her up.... wtf

sounds more like some street thugs

about now's when pandalove jumps in and blames it on skytrain again hahah

there's obviously a lot of missing information here.

i can understand both parties if certain facts are true.

IF the 5 guys indeed had no uniforms to speak of, then i wouldn't show them a fucking receipt either.

BUT how would walmart be implicated IF between the 5 of them, none of them had anything close to a uniform on?

there has to be more details. you don't die from being pushed over. but, being china, details are always sketchy.

^^^ im betting they kicked her in the head a few times

and im going to assume she didnt steal anything or else that would be confirmed


its on the bbc

Typical Mainlanders......

Well, his wife was probably poorly made chinese crap, considering that she died from falling onto the ground...

Walmart should've at least offered another chinese made POS for him, tsk tsk at big corporations :haha:

So you agree with the victim's husband that the first thing you should do when someone killed your loved ones was to complain about the lack of an apology and to demand a compensation? Or do you just lack the capacity to think about what a reasonable person, without an ulterior motive, would do if his/her loved ones were killed?

damnnnnn did china get a new China line train?

that's not even remotely funny dude.... and if you'd read the thread you'd see that its reported, with witnesses, that they kicked the shit out of her + she has a son

you probably wouldn't believe it, but i bought shit made in Canada in Beijing Walmart, good old Dan-D-Pack from Richmond. Made me feel like home =).

^I guess they have to ship something back in the containers, right?

tell ya what. since you are still jumping to conclusions without proof. i'll accept your theory.

the husband IS all about the money. he DOES have a smirk on his face while demanding compensation. he IS everything you hate.

i guess that's all the proof i need that you are a fat loser cop wannabe.
