Gong Runbo

Gong Runbo was a Chinese serial killer who, between March 2005 and February 2006, murdered six children between the ages of 9 and 16.

Gong was imprisoned in October 1996 for raping a young girl. He was released in 2004 after serving an eight-year sentence. He sexually assaulted and murdered six children in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province. He also lured and molested five others aged 12 and 13.

Gong was arrested on February 28, 2006 when a boy escaped from his apartment and called the police. The police captured Gong in a nearby Internet cafe and found four decomposing bodies and children's clothes in his apartment. He was executed in January 2007.
