5 Killed in Stabbing Spree in China, Report Says

Another stabbing incident has occurred in China, this time in Henan Province. From the Associated Press:

A village head and four of his family members were killed in China’s latest stabbing spree, state media reported Tuesday. Among the victims was a 5-month-old baby.

The suspect, who surrendered after police fired warning shots, told authorities he had spent months planning Sunday night’s attack on Wang Chengguo, an acting village chief in the central province of Henan, said Xinhua News Agency.

The suspect, Wang Haiyin, blamed a dispute over land and frustration with his mother’s government-funded pension.

The 56-year-old village chief’s baby granddaughter was among the dead. His 6-year-old grandson was seriously wounded.
