Two local officials in southwest China will likely be dismissed in the wake of violent protests last week over the death of a teenage girl.

China's official Xinhua news agency says the Communist Party committee in Guizhou province has recommended that Wengan county's public security chief and a local political official be sacked for mishandling the situation.

At least 30-thousand people went on a rampage after police released a report saying 17-year-old Li Shufen committed suicide by drowning. The demonstrators accused police of covering up evidence that she had been raped and murdered by relatives of local officials.

The rioters torched the Wengan county police station and several government vehicles.

More than 150 police and protesters were injured, and 59 people were arrested.
