Zhu Dingwei, a section chief of the Jingzhou Administration of Quality and Technology Supervision, has been detained, according to the Beijing Youth. A staff at the organization is on bail.
《北京青年报》报道，荆州市质量技术监督局城区分局一科科长朱定维已被拘留。该组织另一职员目前处于保释中。
Both were charged in the mall elevator accident happened in Jingzhou, central China's Hubei Province in July this year, which caused one death.
On July 26th, an elevator malfunctioned in a mall in Jingzhou city. A woman named Xiang Liujuan was killed in the incident. A man surnamed Ke, a relative of the victim, said a compensation agreement had been reached between Anliang Group and the family but that Xiang's husband has fallen into deep grief over her death.
A preliminary investigation found that Suzhou Shenlong Elevator Co., Ltd, Hubei Anliang Group and Hubei Defu Mechanical & Electronic Equipment company are among the responsible parties for the incident.
The investigation revealed that factors such as faulty designs, a lack of safety precautions and an absence of inspections and emergency training all contributed to the accident.
Additionally, a lack of standardization in quality operations, incomplete fillings of maintenance records, and the absence of basic and technical information of the elevator were all blamed for the tragedy.
