A knife-wielding man, earlier today (September 26), stabbed four school children as they walked to school to death in the Guanxi Province of southern China.
Three of the pupils died on the spot, while the other died later at a nearby hospital.
Police have, however, launched a manhunt for the killer believed to be a 56-year-old who reports say was riding a rickshaw while stabbing the pupils.
This is the latest in a series of similar attacks in China as earlier this month, an attacker killed three students in a knife attack at a school in Hubei province.
