BEIJING — The mystery over a series of vicious attacks on schoolchildren across China deepened on Thursday, as reports emerged indicating that the man who had committed the latest and deadliest round of slaughter came from a tight-knit village where the children and their families knew the killer, perhaps seeing him near the school almost every day.
Meanwhile, in the provincial capital of Hangzhou, police officers detained a woman on Thursday morning after she stormed into a youth center brandishing a rusty knife, according to a worker at the center and photographs posted by a local newspaper of the incident.
The woman was stopped before she managed to harm anyone, and it was unclear what she had intended to do, the worker said in a telephone interview.
The assailant in Wednesday’s mayhem, Wu Huanming, 48, was the landlord of the Shengshui Temple private kindergarten and had been having frequent disputes with the school administrator, Wu Hongying, over when the school would move out of the building, Chinese news organizations said in early reports.
