Hua Ruizhuo

Hua Ruizhuo (; 1973 – January 31, 2002) was a Chinese serial killer responsible for the murders of 14 prostitutes in Beijing's Chaoyang District between 1998 and 2001. He would subsequently be executed for these crimes in 2002.

Early life Hua Ruizhuo was born in 1973 in Shuangcheng, Heilongjiang, growing up in the province's countryside. In 1993, he moved to Beijing and overtook his retired father's job as the driver of a concrete mixing transport truck. He was described as a diligent and friendly worker by colleagues, who dutifully carried out his work using his white Samsung truck imported from South Korea.

In 1994, Hua fell in love with a girl named Qiu Yan, with whom he began a romantic relationship. After they entered his truck, he usually traveled to their homes, where the two would have sex. After that, he would then beat or strangle them, either using his bare hands or anything he could get his hands on, before hitting them on the head with stones or hammers.
