A nun from the Linggu temple in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, committed suicide after killing her companion during the pair's visit to Hsinchu county in Taiwan, the island-based United Evening News reported on Wednesday.
Interviewed by China Daily yesterday, the Nanjing government confirmed the deaths of 34-year-old Jingran, the abbot of the Linggu temple, and 54-year-old Chunru.
An official surnamed Wang from the Nanjing Buddhism Association said he had known Jingran for a long time and thought she was "a very nice person".
