TWO drug traffickers were sentenced to death, one with a two-year reprieve, by a court in northeast China's Jilin Province yesterday.
Weng Tanggen was found guilty of possessing drug paraphernalia and possessing and selling illegal drugs and sentenced to death.
Police seized more than 10,000 magu pills, 757 grams of magu powder and drug-making equipment from a house rented by Weng.
Wang Jianping, who had 5,912 magu pills and 265 grams of methamphetamine in his apartment in Changchun, Jilin's capital, was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve.
Magu is made by combining methamphetamine, also known as ice, and caffeine.
The court heard that Weng had brought more than 14,000 magu pills from Wuhan, capital of Hubei Province, and sold them to Wang at 43 yuan (US$6.6) each.
Seven people who bought drugs from Wang were jailed for between 18 months and 15 years.
