Women held as sex slaves

A CHINESE man has been detained on suspicion of keeping six women in secret underground rooms as his sex slaves for two years and killing two of them.

Li Hao allegedly kidnapped women who worked as hostesses at karaoke bars and locked them in two small rooms he had dug beneath a rented basement in Luoyang city in Henan province.

The secret rooms were in a residential complex away from his home, where his wife and son lived unaware of the alleged kidnappings, the Southern Metropolis Daily reported.
