Women held for two years as sex slaves in basement

A CHINESE man has been accused of keeping six women captive in secret underground rooms as sex slaves for two years, and murdering 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, Henan province.

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