Basketball game in China ends in fatal attack

The aggressor's father, who allegedly runs a coal mine, had also told the dying 18 year old victim that "my family is very rich and I can beat you to death".

After the horrific attack, the aggressor's mother, showed off her wealth in the hospital and told the victim's relatives to ask for 'as much money' as they wanted..."

An 18-year-old student died after having one of his hands cut off in a dispute with another teenager over a basketball game in Northeast China's Jilin province.

Wu Tianhao, who was a senior student at Jilin Provincial Experimental School, went to a local basketball playground with his friends on Saturday afternoon. About an hour later, several students from other schools joined them, including 17-year-old Hao Zhipeng.

The two young men verbally abused each other and soon after began punching each other where Hao's eye got injured as a result

Hao called his parents for help after the fight, and more than 10 people were summoned to the playground soon after Hao's parents rushed to the scene.

"All the people summoned by Hao's parents were in their 20s," said a classmate of Wu's surnamed Wang, who said he witnessed the whole tragedy. "They were all carrying machetes that were about 30 centimeters long."

The other boys ran away when they heard that Hao's parents were coming, but Wu, who believed that they were coming to solve the dispute, left it too late to get away.

According to another classmate, Wen, who witnessed the incident, said he heard Wu shouting: "Stop hitting me, I can't take it any more".

The horrific attack lasted for about a minute. One of the attackers was overheard saying to another: "Let's leave quickly, his hand has been chopped off".

Seeing his bloodied body on the ground, Wen said Hao's mother got scared, and immediately sent Wu to the hospital.

When Wu arrived at hospital around 7 pm, his left hand was only connected to his arm by a little skin, and his right hand was also severely injured. He also had at least 10 wounds on his head.

Police said on Wednesday evening that more than 200 officers are pursuing the suspects. Seventeen people have been detained, police said.
