Suspect arrested after attempting to take his own life, police say
Police in northwest China said seven people were killed earlier this week in an arson attack linked to a family dispute, the second such act of violence in the country within days.
The dead included a couple surnamed Lu, their three children and Lu’s father and father-in-law.
Lu’s younger brother has been arrested after attempting to kill himself, with police suspecting he set fire to the family home in Long county, Shaanxi province, early on Tuesday.
