SHENYANG, March 19 (Xinhuanet) -- A Falun Gong practitioner in
northwest China's Liaoning Province has been arrested for killing
his wife and badly injuring his teenage daughter, police said
Tuesday.  
   Dong Li, the suspect, a farmer in Chaoyang County who began to
practice Falun Gong in 1998, confessed to police that he chopped
his wife, Meng Xiurong, and his 14-year-old daughter, Dong Yudan,
with a pickaxe at home on the night of February 3.
   The police later found that Dong's wife was dead and his
daughter badly injured at home.
   He also burned recordings, video tapes and diaries about Falun
Gong at his home.
   Dong Li told police that he committed the act so that his wife
and daughter could enter the divine world.
   He said that on February 3, he "received" cult leader Li
Hongzhi's instruction that the world would be destroyed at the
very day. Li's instruction also said that those people who could
go up to the heaven before 22:00 would become a god.
   After receiving the instruction, Dong said, he killed his wife
and daughter so that they could go up to the heaven together with
him. 
   He confessed to the police that, after a month's education in
the penitentiary, he realized that what he had done destroyed his
family.
   After 10 days in hospital, Dong's daughter recovered from her
injuries and vowed never to practise Falun Gong again.  Enditem
