According to NetEase, the victim spotted the man shoplifting and tried to stop him from leaving at at 4:55 p.m. As he was running away, he grabbed a knife on a shelf and slit her throat.



Medical staff pronounced that the bride-to-be was dead upon arrival at the scene. The shop was closed after the incident.







The killer, whose face was captured on surveillance camera, was subsequently arrested in a village in Zhanjiang by the local authorities.
