Car Thief Strangles Baby To Death In Luxury Motor He Stole

Brutal Zhou Xijun, 48, told cops he thought two-month-old baby Xu Haobo’s screaming might “give him away” after he nabbed the 4x4 in Jilin province, northern China. He said: “I stopped the car, strangled the baby and buried his body in the snow.”

The boy’s father Xu Ling, 34, had left the car outside his shop with the engine running and his baby son strapped into the safety seat while he popped in to turn the heating on.

Seconds later the vehicle and the tot had vanished.

The disappearance sparked a flurry of media interest, with the horrified dad making a series of emotional TV appeals asking for baby Xu’s safe return.

He said: “Please, please don’t hurt my boy. Do what you want with the car, but give us back our boy.” But tragically, by then it was too late. 

Evil Xijun now faces the death penalty after confessing to the murder yesterday.
