The suspect who stabbed two people in Siheung, Gyeonggi, on Monday was revealed to be a 56-year-old Chinese man named Che Zhenan, according to the Gyeonggi Nambu Police Agency the same day.

The agency disclosed the identity through a wanted poster.

Che is said to be around 170 centimeters tall (5 feet, 7 inches) and fled from the crime scene on a bicycle wearing a black jumper, black pants, white sneakers, black gloves and a white face mask. He is balding, may be wearing a hat and may have changed his clothes, the poster reads.

The poster asks to call the 112 police hotline for any tips.

On Monday morning, Che stabbed a woman in her 60s at a convenience store, then another man in his 70s at a park nearby. Both victims have been taken to the hospital for treatment.

Police found two more dead bodies, one in Che’s residence and the other in a house across from the convenience store.
