    A court concluded the trial of a man, dubbed China's "Jack the Ripper", who allegedly killed 11 female victims between 1988 and 2002, Wednesday afternoon.

    The Baiyin District People's Court, Baiyin City of northwest China's Gansu Province, will announce its ruling on a different day.

    According to the procuratorate in Baiyin, the man surnamed Gao was accused of multiple offenses including robbery, rape, murder and dismembering bodies.

    The trial, which began Tuesday morning, was held in a private session in consideration of the victims' privacy.

    Previous media reports had disclosed that many of the victims were dressed in red, and some parts of their bodies were missing, which led some media to dub Gao the Chinese "Jack the Ripper."

    Police had hunted Gao for 28 years before he was finally arrested in August last year. Gao confessed to 11 murders.
