The Kunming Intermediate People's Court has set a file and begun
investigation into Ma's case. The hearing would be held at a later date, said
the court source.
According to the Kunming People's Procuratorate, the 24-year-old Ma from
Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region killed four students in Yunnan University from
March 13 to 15, whose action broke Chinese Criminal Law.
Bodies of the four victims were found in a dormitory in Yunnan University on
Feb. 23, all with deadly injuries consistent with a blunt metal object.
Ma was later listed as chief suspect by the Chinese Ministry of Public
Security, which offered a 200,000 yuan (US$24,300) reward to people providing
information or clues leading to his apprehension. He was captured on March 15 in
southern China's island province of Hainan and was sent back to Yunnan two days
later
