BEIJING: Ousted Communist Party leader Bo Xilai's wife, Gu Kailai, would go on trial for allegedly murdering British businessman Neil Heywood on Thursday.
Reports from Hefei city, where the intermediate people's court would hear the case, said the trail is expected to be swift because the government prosecutors have obtained a statement from Gu admitting that she poisoned Heywood.
But people appeared to be least interested in the case. "It is about big and powerful people. No one will ever know the truth. Why should I bother to find out," said Wu Fang, a teacher. Chinese censors have blocked any mention of the trail in the media and social networking sites like Weibo sites.
The official Xinhua news agency and China central divison made no mention of the case. The Communist Party is closely watching the politically sensitive case. The government moved the case to Hefei because it did not want Bo's influence in his home city of Chongqing to impact the prosecutors.
