Wang Lixin, a Chinese boss who forced two of his employees to fight each other naked on a cold winter night and later beat and killed one of them, was sentenced to death.
Wang Lixin, who ran an automobile repair shop at Zhangjiakou in northern Hebei province, ordered the duel in December 2003 after one of the employees broke the window of a car, the Procuratorial Daily reported.
Wang forced the two employees to strip naked and beat each other while standing in a courtyard and poured hot water on them as they fought. After the employee who broke the window beat the other employee Zong Zhenjun to the ground, Wang grabbed a strip of rubber sealant and hit Zong until he foamed at the mouth and shook uncontrollably.
He died on the way to the hospital, the report said. The Hebei Higher People's Court convicted Wang of intentional injury and sentenced him to death. The other employee was sentenced to three years imprisonment, with a five-year probation period, for aiding and abetting.
