Police said the suspect was a 21-year-old former student at the school


(AFP): Eight people were killed and 17 others wounded on Saturday in a knife attack at a vocational school in eastern China and the suspect — a former student — has been arrested, police said.
Police said the suspect was a 21-year-old former student at the school, who was meant to graduate this year but failed his exams. “He returned to the school to express his anger and commit these murders,” police said, adding that the suspect had confessed.
In Yixing, police said emergency services were fully mobilized to treat the wounded and provide follow-up care for those affected by the attack.
Earlier this week, a 62-year-old man killed 35 people and wounded more than 40 when he rammed his small SUV into a crowd in the southern city of Zhuhai.
There has been a spate of other attacks in recent months. In October, in Shanghai, a man killed three people and wounded 15 others in a knife attack at a supermarket.
The month before, a Japanese schoolboy was fatally stabbed in the southern city of Shenzhen, which borders Hong Kong.
