A crewman on a Chinese vessel in Philippine waters has killed two of his colleagues with a knife, a coast guard official said yesterday.
One other crew member was wounded in the attack aboard the Liberian-flagged Quing May and has been taken to hospital.
The suspect is believed to still be hiding aboard the massive transport ship, which is docked at the southern port city of Zamboanga, said regional coast guard chief Lieutenant Jimmy Verbo.
The vessel, operated by China’s Foremost group, was transporting iron ore from Australia to China when one crewman attacked the others.
Two ship’s officers were killed and an engineer was wounded.
