Zhao Zhihong, a convicted murderer and rapist, was executed in northern China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region on Tuesday morning, the Supreme People's Court said.

After his death sentence was approved by the SPC, the Hohhot Intermediate People's Court carried out the execution in the presence of procuratorate officers, the SPC said in a statement.

Zhao's execution drew a lot of attention from the public since he claimed to be the real killer in a high-profile rape and murder for which a teenager was wrongly convicted and executed 23 years ago.
