Local police said they will hold a press conference on the case in the next few days, the report said.

Li Xiang, 30, was stabbed 10 times on Sunday night outside the gate of his community as he returned home from a night out with friends at a karaoke bar. His Weibo suggests that he was investigating illegal "gutter oil" at the time.
