“University students charged with abduction
Fairfax County Police officials charge second-year students with abduction, intent to extort money after holding man for ransom”
by Jordan Dods, Cavalier Daily Associate Editor
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Two second-year Engineering School students were arrested and charged with abduction with intent to extort money last Wednesday after they allegedly bound and gagged a man and held him for ransom.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Guanyu Lu, 19, of 1709 Jefferson Park Ave., and Baichuan Shu, 19, of 583 Brandon Ave., abducted an unidentified 20-year-old Chinese man the night of Nov. 20, according to Gotthardt.
That evening, the suspects allowed the victim to place a phone call to his host family advising of the abduction and the $500,000 ransom demand, Gotthardt said.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “While Fairfax County Police investigate possible motives, students who know Shu said they do not know why the pair of Chinese nationals would have committed the crime.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “”I never really expected anything like this,” Scates said. “From what I have gathered he is well-off in China. Both his parents are electrical engineers; he had his own place in Shanghai ... I don’t think money would be a motive.””
