A 7-year-old girl in Liquan county, Shaanxi province, hid under a quilt in bed and watched as a man killed her parents.

Wang Zhen, 34, from the county's Liangxi village, apparently had an affair with the girl's mother. He went to the house at about 2:20 am on Sept 24 and killed the girl's father, Zhou Xiangyang, 29, mother Sun Yaxue, 27, and a fruit businessman, Zhang Guiqing, 46, who happened to be at the home.

The girl had been sleeping but stayed hidden and the killer did not notice her. Police caught Wang at his home and seized the knife he used and bloody clothes. Wang confessed to the killing.
