Police in Beijing have detained a 16-year-old boy suspected of killing two people and wounding another four, including his mother.
The Tongzhou district public security bureau accused the high school student, identified only by his surname Zhang, of murdering a couple living next door – a 60-year-old man and a 55-year-old woman – on Sunday evening.
On Monday morning, Zhang allegedly beat his mother, leaving her in a coma. Her condition remains unknown.
Soon after, Zhang went to school and allegedly beat a female classmate before wounding two teachers who tried to intervene, according to the police.
