Police have caught up with a man who killed a prostitute after being overcharged for sex.

Early this year, Sun fell in love with his victim after meeting her at a ballroom in Shanxi province.

He spent all his money on her and then flew into a rage when she asked him to pay 3,000 yuan ($440) for sex.

Annoyed by the fact his love was unrequited, he killed her in her dorm in Jilin, Jilin province, before escaping from the venue.

After returning to his hometown in Qiqihar, Heilongjiang province, last week, he often called her name and said that he never intended to kill her in his dreams.

Hearing that, his father called police, who quickly solved the case.
