Local media outlets in China are reporting that a woman admitted on Tuesday to participating in a mass stabbing attack on Saturday, NBCNews.com reported.
"The woman suspect, who was wounded and captured alive, has soberly and truthfully made a confession," said Qin Guangrong, party chief of the Yunnan Province, at a news conference.
Her alleged confession comes three days after a mass stabbing occurred at a train station in Kunming, killing 29 people and injuring 143.
Further details about the woman were not released. On Monday, three final suspects were taken into custody and four suspects were fatally shot on Saturday following the attack.
The state-run Xinhua news agency reported earlier that a "terrorist gang of eight" was responsible for the attack, making the unidentified woman the last piece to the puzzle.
"Six or seven men in black with knives rushed at us stabbing everyone in front of them," a witness told the South China Morning Post, adding that his friend was killed as he tried to protect his daughter.
"He was sliced from chest to neck and fell to the ground with blood pouring from the wound."
According to NBC, another witness told the paper that his mother was stabbed to death as she tried to escape the terrifying scene.
On Sunday, the Kunming government blamed the attack on Turkish Uighur separatists, who have been fighting for an independent state in Xinjiang. The group of attackers was reportedly led by Abdurehim Kurban.
