Parent kills three pupils in frenzied stabbing attack at school

A man with a knife killed three children and wounded five more and a teacher in a primary school in China, on the first day of a new term after the summer holidays.

The suspect was a parent of a student, and he attacked the children because the school did not let his daughter register for the new term because she had not finished summer homework, state broadcaster CCTV reported.

The man entered the school, in Shiyan city in Hubei province, saying he had to register his daughter, CCTV said, citing the initial police investigation.
