A man was sentenced to death yesterday for killing 11 people in southwest China's Yunnan Province, a court ruling said.
Zhang Yongming, 57, was accused of strangling 11 people in Jinning County from March 2008 to April 2012, according to the Kunming Intermediate People's Court.
Zhang used various means, including dismemberment, burning and burial, to destroy the evidence, it said.
He was given a death sentence with a two-year reprieve in 1979 for intentional homicide. Zhang was released in September 1997 after receiving a number of sentence reductions, the ruling said.
Zhang was given of land by the village and a subsistence allowance from the local government, but he did not show any gratitude and continued to commit crimes, the ruling said.
He showed no remorse in court and refused to apologize to the relatives of victims.
