A Chinese man Thursday was sentenced to death for killing a man in a knife attack near Shanghai last summer. A Japanese mother and her child were also injured on a Japanese school bus in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province.
A Chinese man who injured a Japanese mother and her child and killed a Chinese bus attendant trying to protect them in a knife attack near Shanghai last June has been sentenced to death.
The Suzhou Intermediate People's Court said the Chinese man named Zhou Jia Sheng, 52, accused of stabbing the three at a Japanese school bus stop in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, on June 24, was "debt-ridden" and did not want to continue living, a government official told reporters in Tokyo.
A Chinese court deemed the death penalty as appropriate in view of the 'extremely heinous' nature of the crime, which resulted in the death of a bus attendant.
