Thirty-nine-year-old "Liu Hao" expected romance when he won the attention of a woman on a televised dating show. However, his newfound romance quickly turned sour when he found himself behind bars.
"Liu Hao," whose real name is Wu Gang, drew suspicion from one TV viewer who ended up linking him to a 1998 murder after watching the show. Police confirmed that he is a suspect in the murder of a 24-year-old man surnamed Sun in northeast China's Jilin Province.X Li Ang, a police officer of the Jilin Public Security Bureau, said that although Wu's looks have changed somewhat since the murder took place, his "soft features" gave him away.
Li said Wu was detained after a month-long investigation in Shenyang, the capital city of north China's Heilongjiang Province, where the show is filmed.
Police arrested Wu in front a hotel on June 9. Li posed as a civilian, asking Wu to meet him in front of the building under the pretense of inviting him to host a wedding. Wu confessed as soon as he was arrested, saying that he never thought he would be caught in public.
"I have been accustomed to using my false identity of 'Liu Hao'," Wu said.
"Wu did not take China's laws seriously if he believed that his televised debut wouldn't matter," said Zhao Shilin, the chief of the Jilin police's inspection and disciplinary squad.
Wu used his false name while living in Shenyang for 13 years after allegedly killing Sun after an argument.
China's biggest TV channels have several matchmaking and dating programs, which attract millions of viewers and boost the channels' ratings.
