A 54-year-old man killed six people, including his girlfriend, during a knife rampage in Liuzhou, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, on Monday morning, according to local police.
The suspect, who was identified by his surname, Huang, is accused of slaying his girlfriend and three of her relatives in an apartment around 11 am in an act of revenge following an argument about their relationship.
Police said Huang fled the scene in an SUV. He soon became stuck in traffic, however, and to escape the jam he rammed about a dozen electric bikes. When the SUV came to a halt, the suspect got out and began stabbing pedestrians.
