The man was suspected of killing his 71-year-old mother-in-law and 13-year-old nephew March 30 and a bicycle caretaker April 3. Local police cornered him in a ward on the eighth floor after receiving a call from the man's wife.

The suspected was not hurt after falling on the airbed and the killing might be caused by the sex affair, local media reported.
