A MAN who laced food with rat poison, killing two children and leaving 19 others ill in south Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in 2009 has been executed, authorities announced yesterday.
Li Shengguang, 68, owned the land where the Muge Township Wenda Kindergarten was built. He added poison to a meal intended for Lu Zhikun, a cook at the school with whom Li had a long-term dispute.
But Lu never ate the poisoned food, and instead 21 children, aged two to five, ate meals that contained the rodenticide "dushuqiang," that is widely used in rural areas.
Two children died before reaching hospital.
Li was sentenced to death on August 25, 2010 by Guigang City Intermediate people's court. The decision was recently approved by the Supreme People's Court.
