A blood-drenched massacre that left 17 people dead in
southwest China may have been triggered by a family dispute over money.
Cops say Yang Qingpei, 27, argued bitterly with his parents
over his finances. The Chengdu Economic Daily reported that the “socially
awkward” Yang had racked up massive gambling debts.
Xinhua reported that when his parents refused to bail him
out financially, Yang exploded, killing them in a demonic rage.
But the young man apparently feared he would be pegged as
the killer.
So cops believe he slaughtered 17 neighbours -- including
three children -- in the tiny village of Yema, in Yunnan province, apparently
to eliminate witnesses. Cops have not said what instruments were used to commit
the vile deeds.
He was later arrested in Kunming -- about 200 kilometres
away -- just hours after the neighbours’ corpses were discovered.
China’s dictatorship has been busy playing down the slayings
to the point there is almost no coverage at all. One expert told the New York
Times that the country’s leadership is increasingly cracking down on the press.
“It doesn’t have to raise a red flag politically or
ideologically for them to censor it,” David Bandurski told the Times.
