Hit-and-bury couple held

Beijing, May 24 (Reuters): Chinese police have arrested a young couple who buried an old woman alive believing she was dead after their car hit the 68-year-old, newspapers said today.

The couple had been at an all-night karaoke session when they hit the woman while driving in the early hours of the morning in Zhejiang last month, the official China Daily said.

“A witness said he heard someone crying and saw an elderly woman lying on the ground near (the car),” it cited a policeman as saying. “A man and a woman got out and put the elderly woman in the car, saying they would send her to hospital.” But, worried about being arrested for drunk driving and believing she was no longer alive, they buried her near the side of the road, the report added.
