China police hunt suspect after killing spree

Chinese police are searching for a man suspected of killing 10 people after going on the rampage in north-east China.

Zhou Yuxin is thought to have killed his wife, son and father in a series of attacks in Liaoning province.

Workers at the businesses run by the suspect were also found dead.

Police believe extra-marital affairs could have been behind the killings, according to a report by the state-run news agency Xinhua.

News reports say Mr Zhou is thought to have carried out the killings in the village of Ertaizi, near the city of Anshan, on Wednesday and Thursday.

As well as his own family members, he is also suspected of killing a female bathhouse worker and three employees at a carwash. Both businesses were run by Mr Zhou.

He also targeted the family of his landlord, killing three people.

Police have sealed off the crime scenes, according to news reports.
