Three drug traffickers were executed Thursday in Wuhan, capital of central China's Hubei Province, for trafficking in large amounts of drugs.

The Zhengzhou Railway Transport Intermediate Court sentenced Guo Fei and Yu Zhuan to death on charges of drug trafficking.

The two criminals shipped 6,037.6 grams of heroin and 5,298 grams of opium from Kunming, capital of Yunnan Province, to Wuhan in mid- December 2001. The verdict also orders confiscation of all personal property of the two criminals.

The same court sentenced Zhang Hanchen to death on charge of another drug trafficking.

Zhang was caught on July 18, 2002 in Wuhan, when the police found 229.8 grams of heroin with him. When he was under house arrest, he organized other people to ship 4,677.6 grams of heroin from a county in Yunnan to Wuhan. Zhang was caught red-handed when he was taking delivery of the shipment. The verdict also orders confiscation of all Zhang's personal property.
