| 2005-05-01 |
| A Chinese shopkeeper was murdered in a "horrific and frenzied" attack by more than 20 armed teenagers, police have said. Mi Gao Huangchen was battered to death with a spade, tree branch and metal pipes by the gang in Wigan. Police have arrested 17 teenagers on suspicion of assault and violent disorder, including a girl of 14. Mr Huangchen, who ran Superb Hut takeaway in the Scholes area of Wigan, was attacked last Saturday night. He suffered massive head injuries and was left in a coma. He died in Hope Hospital, Salford, on Thursday without regaining consciousness. His girlfriend is believed to have seen the attack as he was set upon by more than 20 youngsters. Detective Chief Inspector Steve Crimmins said: "It is quite frightening really, it was a frenzied attack. It was horrific and sickening. "There have been ongoing problems in the area. "There's been general nuisance that you associate with large groups of youths, in essence rowdiness and criminal damage. "For some reason it has escalated out of all proportion and a man has lost his life." Police are appealing for witnesses and further information. |
