THE man who stirred up nationwide anger after he killed a two-month-old baby in a car theft in March was sentenced to death on Monday by a court in Changchun, capital of Jilin Province.
Zhou Xijun, 49, drove off the SUV, after the boy's parents left the key and boy alone while they stopped the vehicle on the roadside and stepped in to their grocery store on March 4, police said.
Zhou found the infant on the back seat after he drove it away from a street. He killed the baby and buried him after he stopped at Yongfa Township, halfway to his destination in Shuangliao City, and later discarded baby's clothes and abandoned the car.
The Changchun Intermediate People's Court on Monday handed down death penalty to Zhou, with a fine up to 50,000 yuan (US$8,170)and compensation to the boy's family at 17,098.5 yuan, China Central Television reported.
Zhou appealed to the court ruling after hearing his sentence.
