CHANGSHA - A man allegedly killed his mother-in-law and three other family members before committing suicide on Tuesday in central China's Hunan Province, according to local authorities.

The man, surnamed Fang, allegedly stabbed to death his mother-in-law, her son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter Tuesday morning in Xiaoshajiang Town of Longhui County in the city of Shaoyang, said officials with the municipal publicity office.

Local villagers said Fang held a grudge against his mother-in-law's family due to disputes he had with his wife, according to officials.

Police are investigating the case.
