Suzhou in our very own Jiangsu has been the sene of a most gruesome discovery in recent days. That’s where a woman has surrendered to the authorities after her husband’s dead body was found in an ice chest in the couple’s home.
最近几天，我们江苏苏州发生了一件最可怕的事情。一名妇女在这对夫妇家中的冰柜中发现了她丈夫的尸体后，向当局自首。
The woman, surnamed Zha, who lives in Yidong Yuan Residential Community of Gusu District in Suzhou, just off the City’s West Ring Road, killed her husband, surnamed Pang, and hid his body in the freezer in their home for more than 15 months.

As a means to imply all was normal, Zha then went on to send messages using the deceased’s WeChat account.

A friend of Pang spoke with The Paper. “Some time ago, Pang’s mother-in-law came home to cook and found his body in the refrigerator, so she advised Zha to hand herself in”, said the friend.
庞某的朋友接受澎湃新闻采访。 “前段时间，庞婆婆回家做饭，发现冰箱里有庞的尸体，就建议查某自首。”该朋友说。
