A woman who killed a five-year-old child out of jealousy was executed today in central China's Henan Province.
Li Xiuling was sentenced to death in December 2015 after being convicted for strangling her neighbour's son, Wang Minghan, to death before burying him in her garden in Haocun Village, Xinxiang City, in July, according to the city publicity office.
After luring the boy to her home, Li moved Wang's shoes and a stick he was playing with in an attempt to make it look he was abducted by somebody else.
Local procurators said Li murdered the boy because she was jealous that he was healthy, while her bedridden grandson suffered from muscular atrophy.
