Prosecutors: Students stalked before killing

A man accused of hacking two schoolboys to death in Shanghai in June appeared in court on Thursday on charges of intentional killing.

Two 10-year-olds were killed, and another boy and a victim's mother were injured, after the 29-year-old man attacked them to vent personal spite owing to work troubles, the Shanghai No 1 Intermediate Court heard.

The prosecutors said that the man, surnamed Huang, from Shaoyang, Hunan province, came to Shanghai on June 6 and bought a stainless steel kitchen knife from a supermarket on June 12.
