Xinoxi Qu

Xinoxi Qu, the manager who was charged with the attempted murder of a customer of the FreshCo Supermarket, walked out of a city court a free man yesterday after a magistrate ruled that he was merely retrieving what belonged to his employer.

It was alleged that on April 22nd, at Diamond Public Road, he wounded Gregory Sanmoogan with the intent to murder him.

Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan, who presided over the Preliminary Inquiry (PI), stated that the prosecutor needed to prove that the accused attempted to unlawfully kill or cause bodily harm to the complainant.
