on august 8, a tragedy occurred in qianyao village, fanli town, lushi county, henan province, where a 58-year-old peasant woman was hacked to death by a man from the same village with an axe. on september 12, a red star news reporter learned from the lushi county public security bureau that the suspect has been taken into custody by the police and the case is under further investigation.

mr. wang, the son of the victim yang, told reporters that he was working in zhengzhou on the day of the incident. at about 4 p.m., he received a call from his cousin, who told him that something had happened at home and his mother had been injured, and asked him to return home immediately. on his way back, he contacted the lushi county 120 emergency center and learned from the emergency doctor that his mother had been murdered.

mr. wang said that he later learned that the man who hurt his mother was the son of a family in their village. "at about 3 p.m. that day, my mother was at home and had nothing to do. the family needed help because they had 20 to 30 acres of tobacco, so they asked my mother to go and help. my mother was walking in front of their tobacco field when the suspect took an axe and, while my mother was not paying attention, chopped her neck 3 to 4 times from behind. my mother was hacked to death on the spot."

mr. wang told reporters that after interviewing eyewitnesses at the scene, he learned that his mother had no grudges against the suspect, nor any financial disputes or quarrels. "we are not neighbors, but we live relatively close to each other, and our two families are somewhat related. we have a good relationship on weekdays. in the past few decades, my family often helped them."

mr. wang said that according to the response from the lushi county police, they suspected that the suspect was a mental patient. "we have known each other since childhood, and he is usually in a normal mental state. but i heard from villagers that they should have been to the hospital for treatment before, but i don't know what the disease was."

a village official from qianyao village also confirmed mr. wang's statement to reporters. the village official said that the suspect was arrested near the crime scene, and that there had been no conflicts between the two families before. he also did not find anything unusual about the suspect when he interacted with him on a daily basis.
