A college graduate who allegedly tore a large piece of skin off his mother's head and cut off his father's wrist and heel tendons because they refused to give him money has been detained by police in Kaifeng City, Henan Province.
The man, surnamed Zhou in his 30s, hated his parents after finding out that they gave money to his younger brother to buy a house. To appease him, his parents borrowed 30,000 yuan (US$4,800) from relatives, but Zhou was demanding more, a local newspaper reported today.
"He just pulled away my quilt and started slashing me," the father said from his hospital bed, his head and limbs wrapped in gauze, as he recalled the horrible attack on February 10, the Henan Business Daily said.
That was the only start of something more gruesome days later because the old couple didn't report to police in a hope to save their son's reputation.
Last Friday, Zhou saw a relative visiting his father in the hospital and giving him 2,000 yuan to cover his medical bills. Zhou took the money and was about to put in his own pocket, then his mother stopped him and scolded him.
In a rage, Zhou tore a large piece of scalp from his mother's head. "I heard of someone being skinned alive, but I never imagined a child could skin his own mother," the father said.
The elderly woman is still in the intensive care unit, the report said.
People familiar with Zhou said he is a bachelor without a job after he got fired from his teaching job in a university. Later he lost all his savings in business.
Police said Zhou refuses to say anything and is undergoing a psychological examination, the report said.
