A man who helped his bedridden mother to end her life by giving her a bottle of pesticide was sentenced to three years in prison with a four-year reprieve for murder.
The Panyu District People's Court in Guangzhou, capital of south China's Guangdong Province, gave Deng Mingjian a lenient sentence because Deng had taken care of his paralyzed mother for 18 years.
His 73-year-old mother had been paralyzed for 20 years due to strokes and complications. She said she wanted to die and insisted on Deng buying her pesticide last May, today's New Express Daily reported.
Deng handed the pesticide to her and watched her drink in a rented house.
Relatives, fellow villagers and prosecutors pleaded leniency as Deng is well known for taking good care of his mother for 18 years and never complained even his mother had a bad temper.
