A MAN has stabbed eight people, including three family members, to death in east China.
Police in Jishui County of Jiangxi Province said yesterday the man carried out the frenzied attack on Saturday.
Zhou Yezhong, 36, allegedly killed his mother, wife, daughter, four neighbors and a migrant worker about 6pm in Chengyuan, Badu Township.
Police nabbed him less than two hours later, officers said.
The victims were two men and six women, with the oldest 83 and the youngest 10.
The motive for the murders was unknown, said Zhou Weihui, head of the county's public security bureau.
Villagers who saw the incident said Zhou, armed with a knife, killed his 10-year-old daughter first and then his mother, who kneeled before him and begged for her life.
The killer then rushed to a neighbor's house and killed his wife Kang Qiuying, his neighbor Hu Dongsheng, and Hu's mother, Wu Xiu.
Two other villagers, Ye Wen'e and Zhou Nianmei, were killed when they tried to flee the scene and raise the alarm with authorities.
Migrant worker Zuo Huasheng, living nearby, was killed when he went into the street.
