A man was sentenced to death for hiring a hitman to murder his wife in order to profit from an insurance payout. The Legal Evening News reported that the husband persuaded his wife to buy an insurance policy for 1.5 million yuan on the day of their marriage and then paid the killer 40,000 yuan to carry out the contract. The psychological pressure of his crime prompted the murderer to surrender to police 10 days after the woman's death.
