Man executed for college rape

A former college student in Wuhan was executed after a court convicted him of raping and killing a female student on campus. The former student, surnamed Wang, could not afford a cellphone, and a fellow student had told him to find one left behind in a classroom. Wang encountered the woman and raped her; and he stabbed her to death with scissors, the Wuhan Intermediate People's Court said.
