GUANGZHOU - A woman attacked by a knife-wielding man on a street in southern China's Guangdong province Sunday has died in hospital, local authorities said Tuesday.
Tang Changrong was among the six women injured in the rampage that occurred at around 7 pm in Nanhai district, Foshan city, a district government spokesman said.
The 20-year-old killer, Xie Yulin, jumped off a nearby residential building after the rampage and died.
Xie, a native of south China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, had been working in a factory in Foshan before he went on the rampage.
Reports say Xie committed the crime after his fiancee dumped him. But Xie's sister denied the reports.
"My brother was not in love with anyone. He looked all right when we had dinner together at 5:20 pm Sunday evening," she said. "He was a very kind man."
Police were investigating the case.
