BEIJING ? Chinese police say a reporter was murdered in a robbery and not because of his reporting as speculated online and in some local media reports.
Police in Luoyang city in Henan province said Wednesday that Li Xiang was stabbed Sunday night in a robbery and that two suspects have been caught.
Internet users and some news reports had suggested the attack in which Li was stabbed at least 10 times was linked to an ongoing scandal involving recycled food oil.
Li's last post on his microblog was a link to another news agency's report last week about an alleged factory producing illegal recycled food oil, dubbed "gutter oil."
A Luoyang police official says there is no evidence the attack was related to Li's reporting.
