While the Chinese government had remained silent on the trial date, two lawyers close to the case confirmed for the first time that Gu Kailai would appear in court next week in the eastern city of Hefei.
Mrs Gu, the wife of the disgraced politician Bo Xilai, is accused with Zhang Xiaojun, an aide, of poisoning 41-year-old Mr Heywood in November last year after falling out with him over money. She is also said to have been motivated by concerns over her son’s safety. |
