A MURDER suspect on the run was caught late on Monday after he visited a clinic and leaked his whereabouts, according to police in central China鈥檚 Hunan Province.

The suspect, Wang Wensheng, 47, is said to have used a cleaver to kill nine people, including his estranged wife, surnamed He, and injured four others on Saturday afternoon in Tianqiao Village.
