Beijing, July 10
A 25-year-old man allegedly murdered six people and injured another with a knife at a kindergarten in Lianjiang, South China’s Guangdong Province on Monday morning.
The suspected accused, who has been identified as surnamed Wu, is a local resident in Lianjiang, has been arrested by police. The investigating team is interrogating the accused to establish the exact cause behind the incident as theory of revenge killing has also come to the fore.
According to sources, one of the adult victims had hit the assailant’s child with a car before, and never given him any compensation. The assailant was seeking revenge, which could be the cause of the murder, they added.
The victims included one teacher, two parents and three children. Lianjiang officials said that they were still confirming the identity of the six victims.
Targeted assault of children have come under spotlight as merely two weeks before Monday’s tragic incident, an 8-year-old boy was brutally beaten to death by a martial arts coach on June 26. Sources circulating on Chinese social media claimed the boy had enrolled in the martial arts training institution on June 10, and lost his life eight days later.
