A MAN who killed three children and injured another 13 in south China on Friday has told police investigators he had attempted suicide because he was frustrated with life.
Wu Yechang used an ax to attack 16 children at a care center on Friday afternoon in Pingnan County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Three of his victims died after treatment failed.
Wu had earlier contemplated suicide on Friday as a result of frustrations in both his life and work, but changed his mind as he thought it would be a "meaningless" death and decided to do something "big," according to police.
He then bought an ax and roamed the streets. When he saw the care center, he broke in and began to slash everyone he saw, Wu told police.
Wu had been jobless since he returned home to Pingnan from Guangdong Province, a major manufacturing hub that attracts migrant workers.
Officers said Wu does not have a record of mental illness, but experts will be brought in to determine whether he has a mental disorder.
The care center's manager has also been detained.
Most of the injured children are in a stable condition although one child is in intensive care for excessive blood loss, according to doctors.
