Upset over divorce, man kills stranger

A 41-year-old migrant worker in Xiangyang decapitated a woman he didn't know with a kitchen knife because he was depressed about his divorce, Chutian Metropolis Daily reported on Monday. The worker, surnamed Xiong, said he did not know the 18-year-old woman he killed but thought that others had lived better than him after he got divorced in 2008. The report said he was once imprisoned for five-and-a-half years for larceny.
