Serial killer suspect snared by text message to mother from taxi

Police in northeast China have arrested a taxi driver suspected of raping and killing at least seven women - a serial murder case that has horrified local people.

The driver, Da Li, was arrested after a nationwide manhunt, the East Asia Economic News reported.

The women went missing near Baicheng rail station. They were raped and murdered before their bodies were burned. Locals have been frightened of taking taxi rides from the railway station as the disappearances mounted.

The case broke after a woman who disappeared two weeks ago sent a brief text message to her mother with the license plate of the taxi she was riding in. The mother reported to police after her daughter failed to return.
