Chinese man drowned girlfriend and tried to make it look like an accident ... five years after doing the same to his wife
- Man in Liaoning reportedly confesses to murdering both women after police became suspicious about second death
A man in northeast China has confessed to drowning his girlfriend in a well five years after he escaped prosecution when his wife died in similar circumstances, according to local media reports.
The man, identified only by his surname Zhang, was arrested on suspicion of pushing his 51-year-old girlfriend, named Li, into a well and trying to make it look like an accident, the Liaoshen Evening News reported.
But police became suspicious and he eventually admitted that he killed both women using the same technique.
He told officers that he killed Li because she constantly doubted his loyalty and had threatened to tell police how his wife had died.
Police told the newspaper that Zhang had confessed to hiding in Li’s home in Huludao in Liaoning province on April 28 before ambushing her and pushing her into the well.
