A MAN in a southwest China city beheaded his wife in the hospital where she had recently given birth.
Long Jiulie refused to surrender to police after the incident on Monday afternoon and was shot dead, China News Service reported.
Two visitors were also injured in the attack.
According to nurses at Qiandongnanzhou Hospital of Kaili City, Guizhou Province, Long suddenly entered his wife's ward about 4pm.
Patients rushed out and raised the alarm. When nurses went to investigate, they found Long's wife, surnamed Yang, had been beheaded by her husband, using a kitchen knife.
Nurses told the newspaper that 42-year-old Yang had given birth to a baby boy days earlier, and that there had been no signs of trouble between the couple.
According to police, an elderly man, also surnamed Yang, and his wife, who were distant relatives of Long, were visiting the mother at the time.
Long's wife was having chicken soup when her husband entered the room and attacked her.
The elderly couple tried to stop him, but were injured by Long.
The elderly man underwent emergency surgery and was still in a life-threatening condition last night. His wife was slightly injured.
Police from Kaili City arrived and surrounded Long in the room. Negotiators tried to persuade him to surrender, but Long refused to drop the weapon. Just after 6pm, fearful for public safety, officers shot Long dead.
