Zhou Kehua was one of China\u2019s most wanted criminals. He has been committing major crimes while successfully avoiding detention for eight years. Most of his crimes involved armed and violent robbery. According to Huang Wei, the Vice Secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Public Security Bureau, since 2004, Zhou Kehua has been involved in ten cases of armed crime, resulting in the deaths of ten people and injuries to another six people.\u00a0 The\u00a0Chongqing Shangbao<\/em>\u00a0seems particularly concerned with one case, which took place on March 19, 2009, when Zhou Kehua shot and killed a police officer who was pursuing him after an armed robbery in which he killed one person and injured two.<\/p>\n

The newspaper featured a seven-page spread on Zhou Kehua\u2019s crimes, how he was finally tracked down, and the gun battle in which he was killed.

Zhou Kehua was caught early yesterday morning, after Chongqing police received a call notifying them that he may be in the vicinity. They spotted the man at around 6:45 a.m., and began following him until Zhou Kehua suddenly turned around and pulled out a gun. The police then open fired, and killed him with four shots.\u00a0 DNA testing has confirmed that this man was indeed Zhou Kehua.<\/p>\n
