Teenage twins accused of killing 6 in China

BEIJING (AP) - Chinese state media say police have detained teenage twin brothers suspected of hacking to death six members of a family in north-eastern China.

The official Xinhua News Agency said on Tuesday that the victims' bodies were discovered on Saturday in a village in Heilongjiang province's Qiqihar city.

It says police arrested the brothers, who are under 18 years old. The report does not identify the suspects or the victims and it was unclear whether the twins were related to the victims.

Xinhha says the victims came from three generations of the family and the youngest was 6 years old. The motive for the killings is unclear.
