Source: Xinhua | October 20, 2013, Sunday | Print Edition

Police claimed yesterday that a marital dispute led a man to murder his wife and six members of her family in northwest China’s Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.

Suspect Ma Yongdong was arrested on Friday evening in the city of Wuzhong and sent to Pengyang County, where the killings took place last Monday, sources in the Pengyang public security bureau said.

Ma has confessed to the murders of seven family members including his pregnant wife and two young nieces, according to police.

They said Ma, 24, killed his wife, his parents in-law, grandparents in-law and two nieces aged three and one in their home in Wengou Village of Pengyang last Monday evening, following an argument with his wife that afternoon.

Villagers said Ma had argued with his wife Lan Xiuying, as Lan was seeking a divorce.
