Sex killer pair lose appeals
Print Edition
A COURT in northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province yesterday upheld the sentences of a husband and wife for murder, rape and robbery.
The Higher People’s Court of Heilongjiang rejected the appeals and upheld the penalties meted out by the Jiamusi Intermediate People’s Court in June, which sentenced Bai Yunjiang to death and his wife Tan Beibei to life imprisonment.
On July 24, 2013, Tan, who was pregnant at the time, lured a 17-year-old girl, identified as Hu, to her home by pretending to have pregnancy complications.
They gave her a yoghurt drink spiked with sedative Clonazepam and attempted to rape her. The assault was unsuccessful and the couple killed the girl and buried her body, the court heard.
Tan said her husband was aware that she had several affairs and the idea to acquire a young girl for her husband’s pleasure had emerged out of guilt.
The court heard that the couple had previously failed with two similar attacks: the attempted rape of their daughter’s classmate in June last year; and the other was the attempted murder and robbery of one of Bai’s former classmates the following month.
The higher court affirmed the facts and evidence of the first trial and declared the judgment and sentencing appropriate.
