The Hubei Provincial Higher People's Court today upheld the death sentence for a convict who set off a homemade bomb in a bank robbery attempt last December, killing two people and injuring 15 others.
Wang Haijian, 25, was sentenced to death last month on homicide charges. He triggered the deadly explosion outside a China Construction Bank office in Wuhan, the provincial capital on the afternoon of December 1.
Wang appealed against the ruling by the city's Intermediate People's Court and went to a retrial in the Higher People's Court on June 13. His lawyer insisted that he neither robbed the bank nor intended to kill anyone and requested a psychological test for Wang.
But the Higher People's Court rejected his appeal and upheld the original sentence. Wang's two accomplices, Wang Wei and Wan An'an, were sentenced to 10 years and six years respectively.
