China's biggest ride-hailing company, Didi Chuxing, is suspending one of its services for the second time this year after a driver was accused of raping and killing a female passenger. It is the second time in four months that Hitch, Didi's carpooling service, has been put on hold following the killing of a female passenger. Police in Wenzhou said they arrested a Didi driver on Saturday morning, who confessed to raping and killing the passenger. The Didi driver suspected of killing her was later found dead, according to state media. Hitch is one of a range of different app-based transportation services Didi operates in China, which also include shuttle buses, bike sharing and food delivery.
