A 31-year-old man on charge of murdering two persons in a kindergarten in China's capital of Beijing in October of last year was executed Tuesday, according to sources with the Beijing Higher People's Court.
The victims were a 44-year-old teacher, He Yufen, and a five-year-old boy in the Beixin Kindergarten in the city's Dongcheng District.
The murderer, named Fu Hegong, sneaked into the Beixin Kindergarten on the night of Oct. 21, 2004 in an attempt to steal something from the kindergarten. But he startled the teacher on duty, so he raped and then murdered her. The noise waked up a boy and Fu killed the boy too.
Before Fu was executed, he said he felt sorry for his mother, but failed to express regret to family members of the victims.
Apart from this case, Fu confessed other 16 crimes he had committed before, including three cases of murders.
Fu was sentenced to death for theft, murder and rape by the Beijing No. Two Intermediate People's Court last September, and he made no appeals.
Fu was was born to a peasant family in Miyun County, a suburban area in Beijing. In 1996, he was sentenced to seven years in prison in north China's Hebei Province for theft and was set free in 2001 ahead of his prison term in last October.
