SHIJIAZHUANG, April 8 (Xinhua) -- Three juvenile suspects in the killing of a junior high school student in north China's Hebei Province have been approved for prosecution after the case was reviewed by the Supreme People's Procuratorate, according to a statement by the Hebei Provincial People's Procuratorate issued on Monday.

On March 10, a first-year junior high school student surnamed Wang from Feixiang District of Handan City was killed. All three suspects involved in the case were apprehended on March 11.

The procuratorial authorities have attached great importance to the case and, in accordance with the law, joined the early stages of the investigation.

On March 21, the public security bureau of Feixiang District submitted for approval of prosecution to the procuratorial authorities which, after reviewing the case, determined that the three suspects, who were surnamed Zhang, Li and Ma, and between 12 and 14 years old at the time of conducting the crime, intentionally killed Wang, resulting in his death. Due to the heinous nature of the crime, the suspects should be held criminally responsible, according to the statement.

The statement said the procuratorial authorities in Hebei Province then reported to the Supreme People's Procuratorate for approval of the prosecution of Zhang, Li and Ma.

The procuratorial authorities will rigorously handle cases in accordance with the law while effectively fulfilling their legal supervision duties. Furthermore, they will increase efforts to prevent and address juvenile delinquency, according to the statement.
