A 36-YEAR-OLD man went to the home of a female colleague three times just to watch her sleep. The woman was not aware of this, Kwong Wah Yit Poh reported.

Zhang Jun, who had made a duplicate of the lady's house key, would stare at her for one to two hours at her house in Chengdu, China, purportedly because he loved her so much.

The woman screamed when she woke up one day to see the man gazing at her. Her parents, who were in another room, came to her rescue. The man has been put in jail.


> In a fit of jealousy, a 13-year-old girl killed a classmate who was said to be prettier than her, Sin Chew Daily reported.

The court ordered the girl to be put in a rehabilitation centre for three years over the April 10 incident in Guangxi, China, last year.

The girl had invited the victim to her house where she killed and cut her into pieces, the paper reported. The girl, who was always teased for her size, knocked the victim's head with a wooden chair before carrying out her gruesome act. She then cleaned the scene and tried to hide the evidence.
