Suicidal jump kills passerby

A wanted man who wanted to take his own life accidently killed a passerby in his desperate jump.

Lin Jincheng made the list of wanted fugitives of Guangzhou after injuring a police officer during a gunfight back in 1997. He is the Ace of Spades on the playing cards which represent the fugitives, next only to the jokers which stand for the two most wanted fugitives, southcn.com reported.

After years on the run, his family broke up and he has been worn down by illness and poverty. The 54-year-old man gradually grew tired of life and decided to end it. However, an unfortunate passerby suffered from his fatal jump while Lin only broke his legs.
