Li Wenxian, also known as the Guangzhou Ripper, was a Chinese serial killer who was active 1991–1996 in Guangzhou, China. He killed 13 people. Li's first victim was found 22 February 1991, a woman in her early twenties. She had been mutilated; her genital region had been removed after sexual assault took place. Li struck 5 more times over the next 6 months, typically following a similar method, with the boidies typically being left amongst the voluminous trash heaps overflowing in the city's "floating" district. Many of these residents were terribly impoverished, and Li's victims were exclusively sex workers.

  • Li Wenxian, also known as the Guangzhou Ripper, was a Chinese serial killer who was active 1991–1996 in Guangzhou, China. He killed 13 people. Li's first victim was found 22 February 1991, a woman in her early twenties. She had been mutilated; her genital region had been removed after sexual assault took place. Li struck 5 more times over the next 6 months, typically following a similar method, with the boidies typically being left amongst the voluminous trash heaps overflowing in the city's "floating" district. Many of these residents were terribly impoverished, and Li's victims were exclusively sex workers. The attacks abruptly stopped; given China's policy of downplaying such crimes, the matter was thought to have resolved itself, until another victim's corpse washed ashore the then-British colony of Hong Kong. The South China Morning Post reported that the victim had to have buoyed from the mainland, as no corresponding missing persons reports had been filed. The victim has been slit nesrly her entire body length, and then sewn together again, with fingers severed. Said Zhu Minjian, head of Guangzhou's provincial Criminal Investigation Department: "In all my thirty years with the force, I have never come across anything like this. Perhaps he copied from the West." The murders continued, sometimes with the addition of a hammer, until in November 1996, when Li inadvertently left a victim alive. She identified Li, who she knew to be a migrated ex-farmer who had joined a local construction crew. Li quickly confessed, stating his motivations as antipathy towards sex workers, as one had allegedly scammed him soon after his arrival in the city. The Intermediate People's Court found him guilty on all counts and sentenced him to death 18 December 1996. (en)
