The hunt in Nanjing in eastern Jiangsu province centers on Zeng Kaigui. Chinese state media say Zeng is suspected to have killed a man who withdrew money from a bank and robbed him of 200,000 yuan ($31,700) cash on Friday.

The reports say 13,000 officers have been mobilized in the search. Teams of police are walking through buses with a photo of Zeng, as well as checking train stations, bus stops and ports, and searching Internet cafes and hotels.
