UCSF中国籍博士后涉嫌向女同事下毒被捕

据水星报报道，在学校警察指证他在一个女同事的饮料里下毒后，加州大学旧金山分校的一位研究人员被逮捕。

　　38岁的博士后刘本春（Ben Chun Liu)由于涉嫌谋杀毒害罪被拘留。奇怪的是，是刘自己向曹坦诚他曾经在她的饮料里下了毒，此时才引起警方注意。

　　调查人员搜查了他的居住地和他工作的大学泌尿学实验室。并且搜到一些他试图毒害女同事曹梅(Mei Cao)一些证据。

　　曹梅在大学医疗中心检查后出院。

　　刘本春是正在申请移民的中国公民。他现在被关在旧金山县监狱。根据网络搜索，刘应为山东人。

　　警察还没有确定他下毒的动机。

　　旧金山加州大学发言人波尔昨日公布，38岁华裔博士后研究员刘本春(音译：Ben Chun Liu)，因涉嫌毒害同为华裔的女同事曹梅(音译： Mei Cao)，上周五被警方拘捕。波尔指出，刘氏为中国公民，以工作签证的身分留美，被捕后于周一以移民扣押令形式，被拘留在旧金山县监狱。受害者曹氏事后被送往该校医院检查，不久已回家休养。

　　加大校园警察队长柏林指出，刘某周五被捕后，承认两度在曹女的水杯内下毒。他表示警方已要求嫌犯重演桉情，示范如何及使用什麽物料下毒，当局亦已就此录影取证。不过柏林并未透露疑犯的行凶动机。

　　波尔也说，刘某和曹氏均在学校内的泌尿学系工作，但不清楚两人在工作外的关係。但据柏林表示，两人并非情侣。

　　波尔表示，警方已搜查过校内的泌尿科实验室和刘某的住所，并发现有关该桉的证据。不过由于调查仍在进行，她不能透露疑犯使用什麽物料毒害曹氏。

　　UCSF researcher suspected of trying to poison colleague

　　A post-doctoral fellow at the University of California-San Francisco has been arrested for attempted murder after being accused of trying to poison a female colleague, a university spokeswoman said today.

　　Ben Chun Liu, 38, was arrested Friday for allegedly poisoning the drink of Mei Cao, UCSF spokeswoman Kristen Bole said.

　　Both work in the university\'s urology department. Bole said she did not know whether the two had any sort of relationship outside of work.

　　Liu is a Chinese citizen and is in the United States on a work visa. He has been placed on an immigration hold and was still in custody in San Francisco County jail on Monday, Bole said.

　　Bole said police had searched both the urology lab and Liu\'s San Francisco home and recovered evidence of the crime, but she did not know whether the alleged poisoning occurred on the university campus.

　　Cao was examined at the UCSF Medical Center and was later released. Bole said that because of the ongoing investigation, she could not say what substance was used to allegedly poison the drink.

　　Police are still investigating the motive but Bole said it does not appear there are additional suspects or victims in the case.
