Li Shikang (born 1955) is a Chinese serial killer who killed six people and wounded 17 others with letter bombs sent to medical staff, whom he blamed for not curing his sexually transmitted disease. [1]
Li Shikang, frustrated by the fact that doctors had dismissed his fears for his children while failing to cure him, sent his first bomb on February 18, 1999, disguised as a fruit box, to the house of Dr. Xu, teacher of the University of Medicine of Sichuan Province. [2]
On October 6, 1999, he sent a bomb to Dr. Chen; it exploded and killed Chen and two others at a clinic in Guangzhou. Two others were wounded. [2]
In the third explosion on October 24, 1999, he sent a bomb to Dr. Wu, who told Shikang that the disease could not be transmitted by everyday contact with his children. [1] [2] Two butlers were killed in the explosion, while Wu and 13 other people were wounded. [1] [2]
Li Shikang was arrested in December after a joint operation by police in Zhuhai and Guangzhou through the detonators he used. [1]
