Pakistan confirms killing of Chinese couple in Balochistan

Published on: 

Pakistan said DNA testing has confirmed the death of two Chinese nationals, who were reportedly kidnapped by militants from the restive Balochistan province earlier this year. Chinese couple lee Zing Yang, 24, and Meng li Si, 26, had been killed in June — a month after they were kidnapped from the Jinnah Town area of Quetta on May 24. The bodies of lee and Meng were found in mountains after a shootout with terrorists but their identity was not ascertained. In June, the interior ministry was informed that the Chinese were involved in preaching instead of business activities — their declared purpose for visiting Pakistan.
