Father gets death for killing student

A father who killed a 9-year-old boy who he believed had been bullying his daughter in class was sentenced to death on Friday.

The man, identified only as Wang, said he would not appeal to a higher court, according to the Shangrao Intermediate People's Court in Jiangxi province.

On May 9, the girl told her father that a classmate at Shangrao No 5 Primary School, surnamed Liu, had bullied her. Wang raised the issue angrily in a WeChat group for his daughter's class, saying that the boy had "repeatedly beat and scolded" his daughter, the court said.
