Police said they tracked down the suspect, surnamed Wu, at his home.
Wu revealed that he came across Shen through the Internet. He visited her at home last Tuesday. When Shen was seeing Wu out, he attacked her with a hammer, killing her with blows to the head, said police.
The graduate wrapped the body in a quilt and took an unspecified sum of money. He admitted to have committed the crime due to heavy debts, police said.
