Don't Steal in China

A 17-year-old boy died suddenly after being held at a detention house for allegedly stealing bikes in Kaifeng City of Henan Province, a Henan newspaper reported.

The parents found bruises and nearly 20 black spots resembling those left by a burning cigarette across the boy's body, the newspaper said.

The parents believed the teenager had been beaten up by officers, according to the report.

But police told the parents the boy "died a sudden death."
Proving that conditions in the Chinese penitentiary system haven't improved much.
