As a young boy Yang Xinhai was intelligent but an introvert. Society is not my concern.”īorn on Jin Zhengyang County, Zhumadian, Henan Province, China, in one of the poorest families in the village, Yang Xinhai (also known as Yang Zhiya and Yang Liu) was the youngest among his siblings. It is none of my concern…I have no desire to be part of society. I don’t care whether they deserve to live or not. Explaining his reasons to kill, Xinhai reportedly said, “When I killed people I had a desire. Yang would later be found guilty of 67 murders and 23 rapes committed in 26 separate killing sprees, which also left a total of 10 people seriously injured. With DNA evidence and Xinhai’s own testimony in the bag, the authorities had a watertight case against Xinhai, and nothing short of death penalty was on the cards for him. His DNA tied Xinhai to a number of different crime scenes spread over four provinces – Anhui, Shandong, Hebei and Henan – with Henan as the centre of Xinhai’s sordid activities. Yang Xinhai did not take long to confess that he had brutally killed more than 60 people and raped several women. Sustained questioning and some DNA work revealed that the man they had in custody killed for pleasure, and quite frequently at that, if a total of 67 brutal killings in a relatively short span of three years was anything to go by. It was only because Yang Xinhai got uncomfortable during the inspection and started acting suspiciously that he was arrested and investigated.

On Novemwhen the police mounted a routine inspection on an entertainment house in the city of Cangzhou in Hebei province in China, they were not looking for any serious criminals, let alone one of the most gruesome serial killers in the history of China.
HEMRAJ SINGH tells the tale of Yang’s monstrosity and also of the state managed suppression of reportage. Yang left the investigators perplexed and wondering, and they were nowhere close to identifying, much less apprehending, Yang when by sheer chance he was arrested for suspicious behaviour, and the DNA work connected him to the crimes he had committed. Yang brutally killed 67 people and raped 23 women over a relatively short span of three years across four provinces – Anhui, Shandong, Hebei and Henan – of China.
