Court upholds husband's death sentence in murder case

A court in Heilongjiang province has upheld a man's death sentence and his wife's life imprisonment for their roles in the murder, attempted rape and robbery of a teenager lured into their home.

Bai Yunjiang had been sentenced to death and his wife Tan Beibei to life imprisonment for killing 16-year-old Hu Yixuan after Bai attempted to rape her in July 2013.

Bai became emotional and interrupted proceedings three times on Monday when the Jiamusi Intermediate People's Court upheld the original verdict.
