Shocking footage has emerged of a woman being beaten to death at a McDonald’s, with reports suggesting she was attacked because she wouldn’t give out her number.

The video from Zhaoyuan, eastern China, which was too graphic for us to include, showed a man striking the victim in the head with an iron bar while members of the public watched on, despite the woman screaming in pain.

There were conflicting reports as to why the woman, named locally as Miss Wu, was attacked on Wednesday evening.

An eyewitness said one of the men, known as Mr Zhang, was angry the woman spurned his advances while other reports said the group wanted to recruit her to their cult but she wasn’t interested.

The victim, believed to be in her 20s, was pronounced dead at the scene.



Six members of religious cult All-powerful spirit (Quannengshen), including four people from the same family, have since been arrested over the death of the mother.

The group was founded in the north-eastern province of Heilongjiang in the early 1990s.
