China executes former senior police officer for murder, bribery
Chinese authorities on Friday executed the former police chief of the northern region of Inner Mongolia after convicting him of murder, bribery, and possession of fire arms and explosives, state media reported.
A court in Taiyuan City in the northern province of Shanxi announced that Zhao Liping had been put to death, after approval of the supreme court
The Taiyuan court last year found Zhao guilty of killing a 26-year-old lady surnamed Li, saying how he carried out the murder was "especially cruel", though did not give details.
He also took over two million yuan ($291,700) in bribes and illegally stored 91 detonators in his office while working as the police chief of Inner Mongolia from 2008 to 2010, according to the court.
