The Straits Times|October 02, 2024
BEIJING - Three people were killed and 15 injured in a knife attack at a supermarket in Shanghai on Sept 30, the eve of a week-long national day holiday, the latest in a series of stabbing incidents in major Chinese cities in 2024.

The victims were rushed to hospital for treatment, but three died. The other 15 did not sustain life-threatening wounds.

The assailant, a 37-year-old man surnamed Lin, was detained by police, who received a report of the incident at 9.47pm on Sept 30.

The police said the man went on the rampage in anger caused by a "personal financial dispute".
