China executes a kindergarten teacher who was convicted of poisoning 25 of her students, killing one.
A court in central China said Friday that a Chinese kindergarten teacher who had poisoned 25 of her students, killing one, was executed.
A notice posted outside the No. 1 Intermediate Court in the Henan province city of Jiaozuo said Wang Yun’s sentence had been carried out Thursday.
Wang, 40, was convicted of putting toxic sodium nitrite in porridge served to children at Mengmeng Pre-school Education on March 27, 2019, following an argument with a colleague identified only by the surname Sun over “student management.”
While other students recovered fairly quickly, one student, identified only by the surname Wang, died from multiple organ failure after 10 months of treatment, the notice said.
A high-school dropout, Wang had previously poisoned her husband with the same substance bought online two years ago. He survived with mild injuries.
While Wang’s motivation was presented as revenge, it wasn’t clear if she had intended to kill or merely sicken her husband and the students.
She was initially sentenced to nine months in prison for deliberate harm, but the sentence was later converted to death.

The court rejected Wang’s appeal. She was taken to an execution ground and put to death.
China is believed to execute more prisoners each year than the rest of the world combined, although the actual figure is a state secret.
Most sentences are carried out with a bullet to the back of the head, although lethal injection using mobile units has been employed in some cases.
Attacks on young students have become a disturbing trend in China in recent years, most carried out by knife-wielding assailants described as mentally disturbed or bearing grudges against individuals or society.
Private gun ownership is illegal in China, so knives and homemade explosives are primarily used in such attacks.
