Man held over killing of sisters ‘bore grudges against family’
Print Edition
A MAN was held by police yesterday in connection with the murder of two young sisters on Sunday in Hangzhou, capital of east China’s Zhejiang Province.
Hangzhou police said Zang Jichao, 54-year-old from Anhui Province, lived near a recycling station in Yuhang District run by his brother and worked there.
According to police, Zang held grudges against his brother, his brother’s wife and his brother’s sister-in-law, surnamed Zheng, over trivial matters.
He also accused Zheng’s 4-year-old and 8-year-old daughters, who had come to Hangzhou to spend the summer with their mother, of being rude to him.
His brother told local City Express newspaper that Zang Jichao had left their family for many years and hadn’t supported their parents.
While they didn’t get on, last year they met up and it was agreed that Zang Jichao would come to work for the business.
But the brothers argued and last Friday Zang Jichao was told to go.
When the other adults were out on Sunday, according to police, Zang Jichao went to the home and stabbed to death the little girls as they slept.
Zang Jichao is said to have hidden in woodland afterward and was found by a police patrol at around 5:20am yesterday.
He has been detained for murder. Yuhang police said that he had admitted his guilt.
Meanwhile, a 1-year-old boy was stabbed to death in Zhongshan City, in south China’s Guangdong Province, yesterday morning.
The suspect, surnamed Chen, from Lianzhou City in Guangdong, is said to have fatally stabbed the child and injured his 6-year-old brother and 10-year-old sister in their home.
He was held at the scene, Zhongshan police said.
The local Guangzhou Daily newspaper said the boy is in intensive care and the girl has received emergency treatment.
Both suffered head injuries in the attack, it reported.
Their parents, natives of central China’s Hunan Province, said they were selling vegetables outside when Chen appeared wielding a knife.
They didn’t know him, they couple added.
Unconfirmed reports said Chen was either very drunk or had taken drugs at the time of the attack.
A police investigation is continuing.
