A tragic crime occurred in Luo Han Village, Huashi Town, Xiangtan, Hunan on October 6th, where two elderly individuals and a 15-year-old girl were murdered, with the perpetrator having a familial relationship with the victims. According to sources, there had been longstanding conflicts between the two families, and the perpetrator, dissatisfied with how the disputes were handled, had repeatedly reported the issues to relevant authorities without resolution.
As reported by Da Wan News, a knowledgeable source in Luo Han Village identified the son of the deceased elderly couple as Hu Hong. The elderly couple and their 15-year-old granddaughter were sadly killed, while the daughter of the elderly couple and her child were rushed to the hospital for treatment after the incident.
The source further revealed that the two families resided in the same village, separated only by a road, and had previous conflicts. The incident took place on the morning of October 6th. Following the crime, the perpetrator, Hu, surrendered and was apprehended by the police at the village entrance.
On October 8th, an informed individual disclosed that the suspect, Hu, had previously worked as a butcher and was noted for his cruel methods in committing the crime.
Da Wan News managed to contact a relative of the suspect, Hu. The relative mentioned that Hu, who is in his fifties, was distantly related to one of the elderly victims.
The relative explained that in 2015, conflicts arose between the two families, and due to Hu’s dissatisfaction with how the matters were handled, he had persistently raised the issues to local authorities over the years without a proper resolution. In response to the situation, Hu even attempted to commit suicide by hanging and threatened to kill his wife.
The relative noted, “In the past year, he had been living alone. He had never revealed his intention to commit the crime before. The day before the incident, we had lunch together, and while he used to ignore our discussions about family matters, this time he listened. Later, he just said he was tired and wanted to go home to sleep.”
“If I had known he was going to commit the crime, I would have definitely stopped him,” the relative emphasized, expressing deep shock and disbelief at the tragic events that unfolded.
