Man gets death for killing 7 in 9 days

A man who went on a killing spree across three provinces with a friend last year has received the death penalty.

Liu Qizhi, 19, killed seven people - including a pregnant woman - during a violent rampage that lasted nine days.

His accomplice, identified by authorities only as Fu, was sentenced to life in prison, a more lenient punishment because he was under 18 at the time of the killings, Legal Daily reported on Sunday.
