2014年CRI 男子贵阳公交纵火致6死35伤

 

Police in Guizhou province say they have established a motive¹ for Thursday's deadly bus arson² that killed six people.

They say the suspect, surnamed Su, believed his wife was having an affair, and thus he "took revenge on society" by igniting a barrel of gasoline on the bus.

A four month old boy is among the six people killed. 35 others were injured. Survivors³ say the flames spread quickly.

The suspect was slightly injured in the fire - he was formally arrested on Friday.

The Chinese government has taken a major step to improve the competitiveness of the nation's oil and gas exploration sector⁴.

A variety of equipment vital to the industry has been added to China's duty-free list, including drilling equipment, semi-submersible drilling rigs, liquified natural gas carriers, and several other pieces vital to exploration and high-end manufactoring.

The measure takes effect on Saturday.
