On her fifth court hearing since being arrested in November, Singaporean A*Star scholar Ouyang Xiangyu, 26, has pleaded not guilty to four counts of poisoning her two lab mates at Stanford School of Medicine where she was a cancer biology PhD student.
In her account to the police, she had said that putting drops of the embalming fluid called paraformaldehyde into classmates'— and her own — water bottles was "a cry for help." Ouyang was originally from mainland China, as were two of her five classmates-slash-victims.
So is that how they say "help me" in Chinese?
Ouyang is currently out on a USD50,000 bail but is not allowed to leave the United States. According to Straits Times, she is due to return to court on Aug 3 for a readiness hearing, which would assess if the case is ready for trial.
She has been expelled from Stanford.
