Customer Beaten to Death by Wal-Mart (China) Employees

Customer Beaten to Death by Wal-Mart Employees

It started out when one of the Wal-Mart employees suspected a female customer of theft. The customer was then under surveillance for a few minutes before being approached by the staff.

The Wal-mart employee requested to search the customer’s bag and the female customer refused to hand it over, stating that it was a violation of her privacy.

Next thing she knew, more Wal-Mart employees gathered around her and started beating her up.

The customer managed to send an alert to her family through her cellphone and when her mother and sister showed up at the store, the staff members were still pummeling her. They begged and pleaded for them to stop but to no avail.

Finally, the police showed up and put a stop to the incident and the victim was then rushed to the hospital.

Unfortunately, she died of wounds shortly afterwards.

So far, Wal-Mart has not commented on the incident and it is unknown if any of the employees were arrested.

4. Those weird asians....
Weird Asia News brings the best of weird, strange, funny, odd, and just plain crazy news and stories from the lands of the Far East.

Judging myself by my own post count, I am sure I will be alone on this one, but somehow I find the source somewhat offensive.

11. Does shrink come directly out of employee pay, or something?
