Police in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality have been told to cancel their vacation plans and join an intensified manhunt for a fugitive gunman amid growing alarm and panic created by the alleged killer of nine.
Police in Chongqing and the neighboring provinces of Sichuan and Guizhou have been ordered to suspend their vacations and remain on high alert for 42-year-old alleged serial killer Zhou Kehua, an officer with the Chongqing Municipal Public Security Bureau told reporters today.
Crews of criminal experts from Hunan and Jiangsu, two provinces where Zhou had reportedly been found in the past and later fled, have set off for Chongqing to assist in the ongoing hunt.
There has been no further report on how many police officers have been involved in the campaign, but media reports have said soldiers in Chongqing have joined the tense but fruitless manhunt.
In the latest failed search attempt, local police over the weekend combed a mountain and a cave which were said to be Zhou's hideout, only to find a ragged green T-shirt, two cigarette cartons, some skinned wires and fresh excrement.
Officials said the "Class-A" wanted suspect by China's Ministry of Public Security shot nine people dead and injured five others over the past eight years. The latest victim was a Chongqing police officer who was trying to stop and question Zhou before he was shot.
