Baby killer executed in China

BEIJING, July 26:  A 36-year-old Chinese man who killed two infants after taking drugs has been executed, a court in China’s southern Guangdong Province said today.
The Intermediate People’s Court in the city of Zhongshan sentenced Huang Mingxing to death on charges of hacking two babies to death after taking drugs. He was executed yesterday.
Huang was under the influence of crystal meth when he killed the babies, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
He said the drug caused him to hallucinate that the two families would kill him, so he decided to strike first.
The court, however, found he was of a clear mind when he committed the killings, the report said. (PTI)
