A man suspected of killing two and injuring three in Putian, Fujian province, resisted arrest and committed suicide on Monday, according to a statement issued by the Xiuyu branch of Putian Public Security Bureau.

The 55-year-old suspect surnamed Ou allegedly broke into the house of his neighbor with a knife due to dispute over land for building a house on Oct 10 in Pinghai township of Xiuyu district, Putian city, leaving two people dead and three injured, it said. He then fled the scene.

The local police on Oct 10 issued a statement detailing the information about Ou. Two days later, the township government of Pinghai also announced a reward.

On Monday afternoon, the man was surrounded by public security officers and armed police in a local cave, and he resisted arrest and committed suicide. The case is under further investigation, the statement said.
