Land taken, house destroyed: Man takes revenge on 6 people including 2 officials

A resident of Pingyang county, Wenzhou city, Zhejiang province, China, whose land was confiscated by corrupt village officials, unsuccessfully appealed for many years. As a result, he was detained in prisons and mental hospitals for many years. During this time, his father died because of anger, and his wife divorced him and left, leaving him in a broken situation. After he returned to the village, he slashed the village secretary, the village chief, and four other people with a knife.

According to the Pingyang District Public Security Bureau and Chinese media, on the morning of January 19, 2023, in Pingyang county, Zhejiang province, a suspect surnamed Yang (male, 42 years old, from Pingyang county) attacked people with a knife, resulting in six deaths. Yang is under arrest, and the case is being further investigated.
