A 31-year-old man suspected of murdering two persons in a kindergarten in China's capital Beijing on Thursday has been arrested, sources with the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau said Saturday.
A spokesman for the bureau said that the suspect, Fu Hegong, was arrested in a hotel at about 2:00 a.m. Saturday.
A 44-year-old nursery attendant, He Yufen, and a five-year-old boy were found dead around 6:00 a.m. Thursday in the Beixin Kindergarten located in the city's Dongcheng District.
Primary investigation showed that they were murdered and then the hunting for the suspect started immediately, said the spokesman.
The spokesman said that Fu had confessed the robbery and murder. Further investigation is under way.
Fu came from Miyun, a suburban county of Beijing. In 1996, he was sentenced to seven years in prison in north China's Hebei Province for theft and was set free in 2001 ahead of his prison term.
