A man accused of murdering his girlfriend in southeast China was caught after facial recognition software suggested he had tried to scan a dead person’s face to apply for a loan.
Officers in Fujian province said the 29-year-old named Zhang was caught while trying to burn the body on a remote farm, but they had been tipped off by an online lending company after its software could find no signs of movement in the victim’s eyes, Xiamen Evening News reported on Sunday.
Zhang is suspected of strangling his girlfriend with a rope in Xiamen on April 11 after they argued about money and she threatened to leave him. He then allegedly went on the run with the body hidden in the boot of a rented car.
Zhang is also accused of pretending to be the unnamed victim and contacting her employers via her WeChat account to ask for time off work.

AI will be the anti-Christ.
Scan your face to apply for a loan. I wonder if we’ll get that sort of thing here soon? creepy.
Poor woman. No shortage of single men in Red China. She could have done better.
We still don’t know whose face he scanned for the loan and whose body he tried to burn.
Let me explain for some:
“...a dead person’s face”
Which dead person? His girlfriend? It doesn’t say.
“...burn the body” Whose body? His girlfriend’s? It doesn’t say.
We can “assume” it was the girlfriend, but you know what they say about “ass u me”.
Poor woman. No shortage of single men in Red China. She could have done better.

And she planned to do better. I hope they fry the perp after removing his organs while he is still conscious.
SO..... would you say that we are in the process of manufacturing our own demise ?
Perhaps we are, but perhaps we don’t have a choice.
