A serial killer who was called “Jack the Ripper of China” for the way he killed women, was arrested after 30 years from his first murder.

Gao Chengyong, aged 52, admitted he brutally murdered 11 women between 1988 and 2002, for still unknown reasons, and then it stopped.

The man was detained in the shop that he owns with his wife in Baiyin, Gansu province in northern China. He is accused for killing many women in a 30 year period.

His targets were young women who were dressed in red. He was abducting them and then killing them in cold blood. In some cases, he cut the throat of his victims or mutilated their dead bodies.

The youngest victim was eight years old.

“The suspect is suffering from sexual perversion and hates women,” said the Chinese police in 2004, when the connection between crimes was made.

In order to catch him, the authorities have placed a reward of 200,000 Yuan, the equivalent of $30,000, for information leading to the arrest of the man. Gao was identified after a relative was sentenced to house arrest. The authorities then conducted a DNA test and found that the man was related to the killer they were looking for. A fingerprint test was then conducted.

When giving his fingerprints away, Gao was really nervous, the authorities revealed.

When testifying, the man said he murdered the first woman because she caught him while he was stealing, on May 26, 1988.

One of Gao’s neighbors said the man told him the story of the murders, but he never imagined he was actually the one who committed them.
