BEIJING - Five members of a family, including an infant, were stabbed to death by a man at a village in central China, police said Tuesday.

Wang Chengguo, his daughter-in-law, five-month-old granddaughter, sister and brother-in-law were killed Sunday in Shangboshu village of Anyang County in Hennan province. Wang’s six-year-old grandson was seriously injured, Xinhua reported.

Wang, 56, was the public security and mediation chief of Shangboshu and also acted as the village head.
