HUBEI Province police have received more than 20 tips about the whereabouts of a man wanted in connection with the ax murders of eight people in Suizhou City, a newspaper reported yesterday.
The victims included a two-year-old boy.
Police are investigating the tips. Teams have been set up to look into chief suspect Xiong Zhenlin's network of relationships, according to a report of Chutian Gold Daily.
A high school classmate of Xiong surnamed Ren told the newspaper that Xiong, 35, was very unsociable in school and liked to fight with classmates 20 years ago. In addition, Xiong didn't like to bathe so nobody wanted to share a dormitory with him. None of his 50 classmates were willing to be friends with him, Ren was cited as saying.
Xiong was expelled from a technician school in Suizhou for fighting with schoolmates.
Ten years ago Ren met Xiong, who owned a small restaurant then. Xiong used opium poppies as a hot pot ingredient to attract customers. Ren said he had persuaded Xiong to burn the poppies. Ren and Xiong never meet again after that, the report said.
A manhunt began for Xiong on Monday after 42-year-old Zhu Deqing and her two-year-old grandson Zou Chuanshuo were found dead in their home in Suizhou's Luoyang Town.
Police found six more bodies at a waste recycling station owned by Xiong.
