[...] Xinhua said the protesters took to the streets due to mounting concern over a police investigation into the alleged murder of the 15-year-old girl whose family said she had also been raped. Internet blogs said the family had accused the son of a local official of both crimes, and were outraged at the findings of the police probe which listed suicide as the cause of death.
