A 50-year-old man, whose DNA samples helped police in China trace him after more than two decades, was today sentenced to death for raping two women and killing one of them.
The Hangzhou Intermediate People's Court also deprived Qian Caigui of his political rights for life.
In 1993 and 1994, Qian attacked and raped two women in separate incidents in Chun'an district of Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang, causing death to one and injuries to another, the local procuratorate said.
In 1984, he was jailed for six years for molesting women multiple times, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
A manhunt for the suspect was launched, but he managed to evade police by staying anonymous in Zhejiang and Anhui provinces.
Police finally found traces of the suspect with DNA samples early this year.
Qian did not appeal against the sentence in court.
