Xinhua 13 May 2013
A high school pupil has been arrested on suspicion of hiring hitmen to kill his father and elder sister because “they had given him too much pressure in study.”
Neighbours called police after hearing sounds of housebreakers in the residence of Gao Tianfeng, a member of the judicial committee of the Intermediate People’s Court of Zhoukou City, at around 2am on Sunday.
Police on Monday confirmed that Gao and his 20-year-old daughter were found dead inside the house in central China’s Henan Province, and surveillance cameras in the estate showed two slim men had climbed over a boundary wall to enter the house before the time of the murder, and then retreated by the same route.
Police have arrested two of three suspects who allegedly conspired in the crime. One of the two was Gao’s teenaged son, a high school student in Luohe City, which is about 70 km away from Zhoukou.
According to the police’s interrogation of the boy, the junior hired two men that he got to know via the Internet to kill his father and elder sister, because “they had given him too much pressure in study.”
The sister had been sent by Gao to accompany his son to study at the school.
The case is still under investigation.
It is the third incident in recent weeks involving school children under pressure. On May 3, reports emerged of two teenagers in eastern China who had committed suicide after “failing to complete homework assignments”
