Eight people were killed and 17 others injured when a disgruntled former college student allegedly went on a bloody stabbing spree on a campus in eastern China Saturday evening, authorities said.
The attack occurred around 6:30 p.m. local time at the Wuxi Vocational Institute of Arts and Technology in the city of Yixing in Jiangsu province, police said.
Authorities identified the suspect they had arrested at the scene as a 21-year-old former student who was supposed to graduate this year but had failed his exams.
“He returned to the school to express his anger and commit these murders,” police said, adding that the alleged assailant had confessed to the gruesome attack, according to the AFP.
The alleged attacker also had been frustrated with his internship pay, CNN reported.
Saturday’s rampage is the latest in a series of horrifying attacks that have rocked China in recent months.
On Monday, a psychotic driver mowed down a group of people exercising outside a sports complex in the southern city of Zhuhai, killing 35 people and injuring another 43.
Police said the motorist, a 62-year-old man identified by his last name, Fan, had been upset over how his financial assessments were divided in his divorce settlement.
In October, a man killed three people and injured 15 others during a stabbing rampage inside a Shanghai supermarket.
