A Chinese court sentenced two drug dealers to death after they dismembered the body of a gang member who died when transporting heroin in his stomach. Wu Xiaohui was given the death penalty by the Shanghai Railway Transportation Intermediate Court while Liu Yujun was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve. Fellow gang member Gan Fuji met his end in August after he overdosed when the heroin packages he was carrying inside his stomach burst open. The gang was attempting to transport about 1.9 kilograms (4.2 pounds) of the drug. To ensure they got part of their investment back, Wu and Liu cut open Gan's stomach and then dismembered him -- packing the parts into two suitcases before leaving them at Shanghai railway station's left luggage department. Another gang member who was also carrying heroin inside his body was found dead at a hotel in Shanghai.
