Download Shanghai police have detained a 62-year-old man suspected of killing six people on Saturday night in Baoshan district. The arrest came after authorities received reports that the boss and three employees of Shanghai Guangyu Fine Chemical Co had been killed. The suspect, a Shanghai native identified only as Fan, is also accused of fatally shooting the driver of an unlicensed taxi and a sentry at a naval barracks. On Sunday, the entrance to the factory where four bodies were found was still closed off by crime scene tape. Police said Fan is the office director of the enterprise. "He lives in Zhoupu in the Pudong New Area," said a manager at a nearby grocery store who gave his name as Liang. "He used to be in the army." Police did not confirm whether Fan had served in the military. "The plant went bankrupt more than a month ago," Liang said. "Fan complained about the uneven distribution of money. He had a fierce fight with his boss several days ago." Police said Fan first beat a colleague named Zhang to death with a blunt instrument in the factory at about 5 pm after a dispute over transferring the possession of factory equipment. Fan then collected a shotgun stored in the factory dorm and took an unlicensed cab to Zhoupu. He shot the driver, named Bian, in Zhoupu and drove back to Baoshan, authorities said. He used the shotgun to kill the sentry at a naval base near the factory, then drove back to the plant, where he killed three more people, including the factory boss, named Li, at about 11 pm. |
