Police capture China鈥檚 鈥楯ack the Ripper鈥
Print Edition
NEARLY three decades after the first murder, police believe they have captured a serial killer dubbed China’s “Jack the Ripper” for the way he mutilated several of his female victims.
Gao Chengyong, 52, was detained at the grocery store he runs with his wife in Baiyin, northwest China’s Gansu Province.
The Ministry of Public Security said Gao had confessed to 11 murders in Gansu and neighboring Inner Mongolia between 1988 and 2002.
Gao is said to have targeted young women wearing red and followed them home to rape and kill them, often cutting their throats and mutilating their bodies. The youngest victim was just 8 years old.
Some victims had their reproductive organs removed, the Beijing Youth Daily said.
“The suspect has a sexual perversion and hates women,” police said in 2004 when they first linked the murders.
The original Jack the Ripper is believed to have murdered five women in east London in the late Victorian era, mutilating several of them. The killings have never been solved.
Gao was identified after a relative had his DNA tested in connection with a minor crime. That provided a link to the killings and Gao’s DNA matched the murderer’s.
