The incident led to the deaths of four individuals, including the suspect, and one person was injured. Currently, the case is under further investigation.

The brutal crime has sparked attention online, with netizens speculating, “This led to death.” “At such an old age, to act this way, there must be hidden motives, right?” “How deep must the grudge be for conflicts between neighbors to escalate to this extent?”

“It’s truly tragic, both families will live with regret for a lifetime. Living in an apartment building often leads to numerous neighborhood conflicts – issues with upstairs and downstairs neighbors, neighbor’s belongings cluttering common areas, noise disturbances, etc. It’s advisable, when feasible, to reside in lower-rise buildings with better quality or single-story houses with more defined boundaries in the surroundings to minimize unnecessary troubles to the maximum extent.”
