    Man executed for drowning debtor

    A man who was convicted of illegally detaining and killing his debtor by putting the victim in an iron cage and throwing him into a lake was executed on Tuesday.

    The Hangzhou Intermediate People's Court in Zhejiang province ordered the execution of Hu Fangquan after his death sentence was approved by the Supreme People's Court, the Hangzhou court said in a statement published online.

    Hu, a native of Wenzhou in Zhejiang, was found by the court to have forcibly taken Zhang Hong, a businessman from the Inner Mongolia autonomous region who owed Hu at least 10 million yuan ($1.44 million), from a hotel in Hangzhou with the help of several other accomplices on June 10, 2012.

    Zhang was then illegally imprisoned by Hu as the latter called Zhang's family asking for a ransom of 50 million yuan.

    Hu instructed his accomplices to imprison Zhang, with the place of detention continually changing for more than 80 days to dodge a police manhunt.

    Hu later obtained 6.2 million yuan from Zhang's family members.

    The court said Hu, with the help of two other accomplices, Zhang Chongxuan and Jin Chaoguo, put Zhang Hong into a cage and pushed the cage off a bridge into the Tankeng Reservoir, which is located in Zhejiang's Lishui.

    Hu was detained by Hangzhou police in a hotel in Thailand in 2013. The police later detained another 13 people who were involved in the case.

    It took the police four search attempts over a period of almost a year to locate the cage under water, which was finally found on Dec 28, 2014. DNA tests showed the body inside the cage was that of Zhang Hong.

    "There is a point in the history of a society when it becomes so pathologically soft and tender that among other things it sides even with those who harm it, criminals, and does this quite seriously and honestly. Punishing somehow seems unfair to it, and it is certain that imagining ‘punishment’ and ‘being supposed to punish’ hurts it, arouses fear in it." Friedrich Nietzsche

    Bus arsonist in Ningxia executed

    Yinchuan Municipal Intermediate People's Court in Ningxia has executed Ma Yongping, an arsonist convicted of setting a bus on fire in January.

    Ma met with his relatives on Friday morning before the execution.

    The arsonist set a bus on fire in Helan County on January 5, using gasoline to spark the blaze. He had been motivated by anger over a personal dispute.

    The fire, which quickly burned the bus into an empty shell, killed 18 people and left 32 injured.

    Ma was sentenced to death by a local court on July 3. He appealed to the court on the same day.

    On September 29, the Higher People's Court of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region rejected Ma's appeal. The court upheld the arson conviction and death sentence.
