According to People's Daily Online, the suspect, only identified by his Li, knifed all victims in the buttocks in remote residential areas in Laizhou of Shandong province, eastern China.

Li said he was seeking revenge against his ex-girlfriend and he mistook the victims for his former partner.

His unusual behaviour reportedly caused a panic among female residents in Yantai who were afraid of going out alone in the evening.

Gao Changxin, captain of the local police, told Qilu Channel:

"The suspect chose women who looked very similar to his ex-girlfriends, followed them into their places of residence and stabbed them."

The police managed to track down Li after looking into some surveillance camera footage.

Li also accused his former partner of taking his bank cards and identification card when they were together.

The suspect added that he simply wanted to get these items back from his girlfriend, but he did not have her address, so he wandered around the neighbourhood in hope of finding her.
