China executes a father who killed his two children on the orders of his new partner: "When the children are gone, I will marry you" Zhang Bo threw his two kids out of a 15th-floor window because his partner, Ye Chengchen, threatened to break up the relationship if he didn't get rid of the children. It has been one of the events that has most shocked Chinese public opinion in recent years.
China maintains the death penalty for 46 crimes beyond murder, such as drug trafficking and corruption.
