Zhang Yan, a university teacher in Linyi City, Shandong Province, sped in her residential complex and hit a woman on a moped who had her 4-year-old daughter sitting behind her, officials said.

Instead of helping the victims, Zhang stripped and lay naked on the ground. Later she snatched the injured girl from the ambulance and dropped her on the ground. The girl died later. Her mother, surnamed Wang, remained in intensive care.

Neighbors said Zhang was furious when she left her home on the morning of June 17.

A relative of Wang, Wang Lewen, said Zhang drove into the crowd after finding out her husband had a mistress. Zhang was detained for involuntary manslaughter, but Wang Lewen said it was intentional homicide.

"Zhang teaches medicine, including medical psychology and psychiatry. She disguises herself as a mad woman and hinders emergency treatment. She's so evil," Wang said.
