Man stabs woman to death at local university

A man stabbed a woman to death at local university today due to disputes in their relationship, local police said.

Pudong police said they received a call about 10:20am, saying a woman was stabbed on the fourth floor of the library building of Shanghai Maritime University' Lingang Area campus, and a man attempted to commit suicide by plunging from the fifth floor in the same building.

Police soon arrived at the scene and rushed the 23-year-old woman, surname Zhou, to hospital. They also stopped the man, surnamed Xu, 24, from jumping from the fifth floor.

Both of them were postgraduate of the university.

Zhou was pronounced dead about 5:30pm due to severe injury.

Police detained Xu, who later confessed that Zhou was his girlfriend and they had some disputes earlier, which led to the stabbing death.

Police said they also found a plastic bottle that smelled pungent at the scene. Xu told police that he brought this bottle, which contained some chemical liquid, to the scene.

Police are still investigating the exact substance of the chemical liquid and other details of the case.
