According to Lianhe Wanbao, this is the first time such an incident has happened in the area. The case is still under police investigation.

Not a solo act

The district chief for the area said the assailant may have other motives for committing this crime.

Lianhe Wanbao reported him as saying that the entire incident looked very organised and was not something that could be executed by one person.

Residents in the area speculated as to what could be the cause of the incident. However, none of the rumours were confirmed as the girl’s family did not accept any interviews.
