Man loses appeal of death sentence in bombing deaths
Online Edition
A MAN who sent a homemade bomb to his ex-girlfriend but caused two others to die lost an appeal against his death penalty sentence in southwest China’s Sichuan Province, South China Metropolis Daily reported.
The convict, Chen Shi, fell in love with Wang Ting in Daxian County in 1994. But they broke up two years later, which angered Chen. In February 1999, he made an explosive device and told a taxi driver to give it to Wang, saying that it was a wedding gift to her.
But Wang, who worked at a school, wasn’t there. The driver gave it to a woman who was the school doctor. She was curious about the gift and opened the box, detonating the explosive. The 36-year-old doctor and a six-year-old girl died at the scene. A friend of the doctor’s was severely wounded.
Chen was nabbed at the end of 2011. Dazhou City Intermediate People’s Court sentenced him to death and the provincial higher court upheld the verdict after Chen appealed for a lenient sentence.
