300,000 yuan reward offered for suspect

Police in Jiangxi province's Le'an county offered a 300,000 yuan ($43,200) reward on Thursday for information leading to the capture of the man suspected of killing three people and injuring another in the past week. The reward was raised from 50,000 yuan on Saturday after media reports said that Zeng Chunliang, the suspect, killed a local poverty relief official on Thursday while fleeing from police who were pursuing him over a homicide case in which two were killed and one was injured on Saturday. During the manhunt, an auxiliary police officer in Le'an was hit by a truck while examining vehicles passing by a provincial-level highway and died on Thursday afternoon.
