Police in China’s now-infamous city of Wuhan are hunting for a man who allegedly used a knife to kill a local Chinese Communist Party (CCP) official and four members of his family, including his wife and two of his grandchildren.
Wuhan’s Public Security Bureau (PSB) released only a few details of the massacre on Tuesday morning. The target of the attack was Zhang Qihong, acting party secretary of Xiaosi township. The suspect, a 39-year-old male identified only by his surname “Gao,” entered Zhang’s home and attacked him with a knife at around 1:00 a.m. on Tuesday.
The South China Morning Post (SCMP) described a massacre that spilled out of the Zhang home to claim at least two victims on the street during the killer’s frantic, and so far successful, bid to escape:
It is alleged Zhang and his wife were killed in their living room, followed soon after by Zhang’s daughter-in-law when she carried a child aged under 12 months downstairs, according to Cover News, a local newspaper.
Two of Zhang’s grandchildren died upstairs. Police arriving at the scene found one of Zhang’s grandchildren, a seven-year-old boy, still breathing and he was admitted to hospital.
The PSB statement alleged Gao killed two others after leaving Zhang’s home and before jumping off a bridge into the Yangtze River around 6am. Police did not give details about those two deaths but witnesses alleged the suspect killed a driver and ran down a passer-by with a vehicle.
AFP noted the police report did not clarify if the suspect survived his leap into the Yangtze River.
