Police in China are investigating whether a billionaire was murdered with a poisoned cat meat stew.
Long Liyuan died at the end of December after having a dinner with business associates during which they all ate the local delicacy of cat meat.
But while all three men were ill -- feeling dizzy and sick -- just 49-year-old Long died and a police investigation was launched, initially quizzing the restaurant owner.
However, a local official has now been arrested on suspicion of poisoning the dish with a toxic herb called Gelsemium elegans.
It's claimed the men had argued about money and it's suggested the official had embezzled money from Mr Long.
