A man in western China’s Chongqing municipality allegedly killed his two young children by throwing them out of his high-rise apartment so he could start a ‘new family’, legal documents published online on Friday revealed.
Zhang Bo, who was detained by police in December last year, a month after the children’s death, has been charged with murder and will appear in court later this month.
The man’s motivation for the alleged murder of his son aged one and daughter aged two, was because his girlfriend would not marry him unless he got rid of them, the documents revealed.

White flags could be seen flying outside homes and poverty relief organisations across Malaysia this past week as citizens cried out for food and other assistance amid the country s latest Covid-19 lockdown.
The surreal scenes, reminiscent of similar protests that swept the South American nations of Guatemala and El Salvador last year, emerged from a grass-roots social media campaign centred on the #benderaputih (white flag) hashtag that began trending on Monday.
Community organisers told This Week in Asia the campaign was the clearest sign yet of the economic despair that hundreds of thousands of Malaysia s lower-income families have experienced amid the haphazard approach of Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin s government to the public health crisis.
