Say no to rumors on serial killer

The hunting and shooting down of serial killer Zhou Kehua on Aug 14 have given rise to all kinds of rumors. As usual, the rumors and the subsequent debate have become the realm of netizens.

But now it seems some netizens criticize a person or an entity just for the sake of criticizing.

One rumor doing the rounds is that "Zhou is still at large" and the person (mistakenly) killed on Aug 14 was Duan Zhipeng, a Hunan police officer. The rumor has persisted even after Duan told Hunan TV station on Aug 20: "This is ridiculous, because I didn't have anything to do with the killer (Zhou)".
