[1]Yet another deadly “social revenge” attack on Wednesday shook China when a person armed with a kitchen cleaver slaughtered seven children, their teacher and her 80-year-old mother at a kindergarten school before killing himself in a northwestern village of the country.
The deadly rampage took place at about 8 am at the privately-run kindergarten in Linchang village in the Shaanxi province when 48-year-old villager Wu Huanming, who apparently owned the school building, barged inside started hacking children.
Seven children — five boys and two girls — and their teacher 50-year-old Wu Hongying were killed on the spot and Wu’s mother later died in the hospital, the Shaanxi provincial emergency response office said in a statement. Eleven other children were injured, two severely. They are being treated in hospital.
Wu Huanming returned home after his gory killings and committed suicide, the statement said. An initial police investigation showed that Wu had been unhappy after a property dispute with the teacher Wu Hongying. Wu Huanming had rented out his house to Wu Hongying to run the kindergarten. Wu Huanming demanded in April that his house should be vacated when the lease expired, but teacher said she hoped to return the property in June or July, during the school vacation.
