Wang Binyu, 27, a migrant worker from Gansu, was executed

Wang Binyu, 27, a migrant worker from Gansu, was executed after the Ningxia High People’s Court approved the death sentence handed down by the Shizuishan Intermediate People’s Court in June. Wang had been a construction worker for building contractor Chen Jiwei in Shizuishan for more than a year when he resigned on May 11 and complained to the city’s labor bureau over 5,000 yuan in wages he was owed. The bureau brokered a meeting between Wang and Chen’s representative, Wu Xinguo, to settle the dispute. Wang and Wu argued over the terms of the settlement, and Wang ended up killing Wu and three family members.
