Chinese police in the southwestern city of Chongqing shot dead a fugitive
serial killer and armed robber on Tuesday after a massive manhunt aimed at
reassuring people the government would continue a crime crackdown begun by
sacked party boss Bo Xilai.
Zhou Kehua, 42, who was responsible for nine deaths across several provinces
, was finally cornered and shot dead at a Chongqing shoe factory around dawn
, the official Xinhua news agency said, in a case which has gripped the
country.
Keen to put on a show of strength after the sacking earlier this year of
Chongqing's controversial Communist Party head Bo, who led a high-profile
crimebusting campaign, authorities mobilized thousands of police to catch
the killer.
Zhou had been implicated in robberies and killings in three provinces dating
back to 2004, and resurfaced last week to shoot dead a woman outside a
Chongqing bank, Xinhua said.
Authorities described Zhou, who targeted people withdrawing money from banks
, as "ruthless and extremely dangerous".
"Police ... confirmed that the Chongqing Municipal Public Security Bureau
was praised and honored by China's Minister of Public Security Meng Jianzhu
immediately after the operation," Xinhua added.
Chinese news portals showed a lurid picture provided by the police of Zhou
sprawled on the ground with blood streaming from his head.
Gun crime is rare in China as a result of tight controls over firearms.
The hunt for Zhou has been the most popular topic on China's Twitter-like
microblogging site Sina Weibo for the past few days, and has dominated the
news. | m*****5 发帖数: 23482 | 2 南京警方早先已经把很多信息都公开了
