Yi Hsia, 40, had apparently never forgotten an insult made by his neighbour and after drinking and playing cards with friends, had grabbed the metal hammer and waited outside the man's house in Jingxi township in Minhou county in south-eastern China's Fujian province.
When he spotted Yul Xu's daughter Xiao walking home with friends, he had walked up to her and hit her over the head.
Eyewitness Meng Liao said: 'It was sickening, he was hitting the lifeless body repeatedly on the head with a hammer.
'Loads of other people ran over including me and he ran off but by then it was too late for the girl.
