A SHANGHAINESE man returning from overseas study has been arrested for allegedly killing his father with a hammer and seriously injuring his mother after they refused to accept the woman he planned to marry, a newspaper reported today.
After hammering his father to death and his mother into critical condition, the man, 24, tried to cover up his actions and called police, according to a Shanghai Morning Post report. Police arrested him and he confessed, the report said. He faces murder charges.
While studying in Australia, he met online a woman from Zhejiang Province. They played games together, chatted through QQ and MSN and he gradually became fond of the woman, the report said.
In June, he went to meet the girl in Zhejiang immediately after returning from Australia. They fell in love quickly, according to the newspaper.
He returned home to Shanghai and a short time later he brought the woman to a five-star hotel in the city. A few days later, he introduced her to his parents, who did not like the fact that the woman was from an ordinary family from outside Shanghai. They immediately opposed the relationship, the report said.
The man was badly hurt, but still tried to see her secretly. He started to quarrel with his parents after they kept track of him and read his secret online chat records with the woman.
According to the report, he quarreled again with his father in September. His father was allegedly very emotional, took out a hammer and said if his son wanted to marry the girl, he would kill himself in front of him. His mother rushed into the room and was crying. She tried to persuade her son to give up the idea of marrying the woman.
The man grabbed the hammer and hit his mother in the back of the head, the report said. His father called relatives for help while his mother cried: "Even if you killed me, I won't agree to your marriage," according to the report.
The young man then kept striking his parents with the hammer until they fell to the floor motionless and in a pool of blood.
The man went to Australia to study in 2006.
