Suizhou deaths suspect held
POLICE in central China's Hubei Province have apprehended a man suspected of killing eight people with an ax, including a two-year-old boy, last week.
A resident in Wuhan, the provincial capital, called police at 9:30am yesterday, saying he had spotted a man resembling Xiong Zhenlin.
Xiong, 35, was listed as the "most wanted" after the killings in Suizhou City.
Two police officers found the man at a waste collection station in Jianghan District at 11:18am. He tried to escape but failed and later admitted he was Xiong, police said.
Xiong admitted killing eight people in Luoyang Town last Sunday and fleeing to Hainan Province in the south the next day, police said. He had just arrived in Wuhan when he was caught.
Xiong was handed over to police authorities in Suizhou yesterday afternoon.
Toddler Zou Chuanshuo and his grandmother Zhu Deqing, 43, were found dead in their home in Luoyang Town last Monday. Head wounds suggested the attacker had used an ax, a spokesman for Suizhou's public security department said.
Investigators named Xiong, a waste recycling station owner, as a suspect.
Police searched his junkyard and found six more bodies as well as blood-stained axes and hammers.
The bodies, three men and three women, were identified as Xiong's employees. They were all natives of Luoyang Town and aged from 45 to 69.
A neighbor said Xiong divorced his wife three months ago hoping to marry Zhu.
After Zhu turned him down, Xiong wanted to make up with his former wife but she too rejected him.
Other people in the town confirmed the story, said Wan Xuebin, public security chief of Suizhou.
"But no one could explain why Xiong killed the junkyard workers," Wan said.
