A serial killer dubbed China's "Jack the Ripper" was sentenced to death on Friday for murdering 10 women and an 8-year-old girl over a period of 14 years in northern China.

Gao Chengyong, 53, was given the penalty at the Baiyin Intermediate People's Court in Gansu province on Friday morning-about 30 years after he committed the first killing-for multiple charges of homicide, rape, robbery and mutilation of corpses.

The verdict said Gao killed 11 female victims in Baiyin and Baotou in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region between May 1988 and February 2002, with the youngest victim being just 8 years old.
