Chinese man sentenced to death for massive drug production

Xinhua, June 24, 2016 Adjust font size:

A man received death penalty on Friday in east China's Shandong Province after being convicted of producing and trading more than 800 kilograms of methamphetamine.

Lin Wuhan was found guilty of producing 887 kg of methamphetamine in south China's Guangdong Province in January of 2015, according to Qingdao Intermediate People's Court.

In addition, Lin illegally detained Yang Jinghui who sold him ephedrine, a raw material for methamphetamine, and injured him with a gun, said the court.

In 2010, Lin was sentenced to two years and nine months in prison for illegal possession of a gun and endangering public security.

Two of Lin's associates, Chen Can and Cui Wenliang, were sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve. Endi
