Gang leaders executed
Two gang leaders were executed in southwest China's Chongqing municipality on Tuesday after being convicted of organizing a nine-member criminal gang and murder.
The executions of Yang Tianqing and Liu Chenghu were carried out after the Supreme People's Court approved the death sentences, said a statement from the Chongqing No 1 Intermediate People's Court, which handed down the death sentences in the first trial on Oct 21 last year.
