Maniac who stabbed nine children to death in China is executed by firing squad

Villagers crowded along a Chinese road to watch police cars escort killer Zhao Zewei to an execution ground

A CHINESE man who stabbed nine school children to death has been executed by firing squad.


Zhao Zewei received the death sentence after being convicted of intentional homicide for the lethal knife attack which also saw him injure 11 other pupils.

The execution was carried out in the Mizhi county of Shaanxi yesterday, according to a statement from the Yulin City Intermediate Court.
Zhao, 28, had not appealed against the death sentence after it was approved by China's Supreme Court.
He reportedly took knives into his former middle school in April to carry out revenge for bullying.

Zhao launched the vicious attack in Mizhi count, north-western China, to vent his anger over being tormented while a pupil there, a court statement said.
But his motives for depriving others of life were "despicable" and the methods were especially cruel, the court said.

Villagers crowded along the side of the road to watch police cars escort Zhao to Mizhi County’s execution ground, according to MailOnline.
Video footage released by Sina News appeared to show police officers waiting on grassland, behind a cordoned-off area.


Violent crime is rarer in China than many other countries, due in part to strict gun controls and tight security in major cities.

Recent years have seen a series of knife and axe attacks, however, including one this year in Beijing.
China does not release official figures for the number of people it executes every year.
But rights groups estimate that more people are executed there annually than in all other countries combined.

  German women were raped by all armies at the end of the second world war From the archive, 17 June 1955: Berlin woman's memoir of mass rape reviewed Controversial book suggests many Berlin women were raped by drunken Red Army soldiers during the second world war Observer, 19 June 2005: When rape was a spoil of war Two years after the end of the war Berlin still smelled of death. Each street contained dozens of ruins and every ruin, especially after rain had fallen and there was still a dampness in the air, retained the same sickly smell. It may have been, as some Germans honestly believed, corpses buried beneath them, or it may have been the state of the drains. It may simply have been the projection of a short but stormy past into the greyness of that particularly uninviting present. A Woman in Berlin (Secker and Warburg, pp. 284, 15s) tells the story of a single German woman of middle-class family, living in the Neu-Kölln district of Berlin. This district has not

These tragic photos and stories capture the horrors that occurred during World War II. Wickedness of the highest order Many Westerners know full well about the horrors that have happened on their side of the world throughout history. But, all too often, when an atrocity happens on the other side of the world, most people in the West don't hear much about it or think much of it. Alongside all of the catastrophes that plagued Europe during World War II, the atrocities committed in Asia were every bit as disturbing — even if many people in the West hardly ever learn about them in school Left: A Chinese woman is tied to a pole and forcibly kissed by a Japanese soldier.

ON THIS DAY, AUGUST 31, 2016, A SUGGESTIVE PICTURE OF A BRIDE HAVING A LAST S*XUAL On this day, August 31, 2016, a suggestive picture of a bride having a last s*xual encounter with her ex-boyfriend a short distance away from her wedding venue was emerged. A Facebook user, Bukola Atupa Ajeigbe shared an odd photo of an unnamed bride preparing to be bonked from behind in doggy fashion by an ex boyfriend shockingly on the day of her wedding with her full outfit on. After-thoughts also have it that the picture could have been taken from a movie scene although the faces of the characters or persons are not known on the television screens..
