BEIJING - The 42-year-old former community doctor in China’s Nanping city, who stabbed 13 primary school students Tuesday morning, killing eight of them, has said he planned to kill 30 children on that day, police said.

Police in Nanping in Fujian province Thursday ruled out the possibility of Zheng Minsheng’s mental insanity after he confessed his intention of killing 30 people that day, China Daily reported.

Meanwhile, government officials have expressed their willingness to execute a quick investigation and sentence for Zheng. A 260,000 yuan ($38,085) compensation fee for victims’ families has also been approved.

The report also said that Zheng’s family, including his mother and six brothers, had moved out of the area.
