China executes three for killing wives, relatives BEIJING, Saturday (AFP) Two men convicted of killing their wives and another found guilty of murdering his father-in-law have been executed in northwest China's Qinghai province, state media reported Saturday. The three were executed Friday after the Intermediate People's Court of Haidong sentenced them to death, the China Youth Daily reported. Bao Shanxi was convicted of strangling his wife in June after she refused him sex while Hu Yongzhu stabbed his pregnant wife to death in May after an argument, the newspaper said. In the same month Ren Guoyuan hacked his father-in-law to death after he failed to persuade his wife to come home following an argument, it said, without giving further details. China executes more people every year than the rest of the world combined, with Chinese scholars estimating there are at least 10,000 state-approved killings annually. |
