Chinese police have arrested a man accused of killing 13 people after a massive manhunt in the country's northeast, state media reported.

Shi Yuejun killed eight people in rural Jilin province on Sunday and killed five more while on the run from police, the China Daily reported.

Shi left another four injured, three seriously, the report said.

The dead included four members of the same family, according to earlier local newspaper reports.

The 37-year old professional pig butcher was finally caught in a cornfield near his hometown after a hunt involving 14,000 people, including 2,000 police.

Police did not explain what sparked Shi's rampage.

"Local people said that he had a history of psychological problems," the report said.
