February 14, 2012, in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, a 21-year-old job seeker, sunamed Wu from Hunan Province, stabbed an employment agent, surnamed Shu in the same age, to death because he was cheated of 300 yuan by Shu.

Reportedly, Shu set up a stall to offer attractive employment opportunities at the roadside in Dongguan. Wu was attracted, and trustfully paid the service fee and medical checkup fee, totally 370 yuan (which might be all money in Wu’s pocket), as Shu required. But soon, Wu found out it was a scam. He did not have the job as Shu promised. When Wu asked for refund, Shu refused, and ignored him totally after giving him back 70 yuan only. On Feb. 14, the angry job seeker then stabbed Shu to death right on the street.

According to witnesses, Wu used a fruit knife to pierce into Shu’s throat first, and fresh blood spilled out. Shu threw a stone to Wu and then ran away, but Wu came after him after avoiding the stone. Shu however fell on the way due to the severe injury, and Wu stepped forward to cut to his throat again. “It was so horrible,” the scared witnesses remembered the moment.

When the local police arrived, Wu squatted down by a wall nearby, looking exhausted, and kept checking his mobile phone. The police then subdued him when Wu was off guard. Unfortunately, Shu was pronounced dead right at the scene.
