China's 'No. 1' hitman sentenced to death China has sentenced to death a contract killer known as Hitman number one who murdered nine people, including a friend whose head and hands he boiled after cutting up the body, Xinhua news agency says.
Businessmen hired Tu Guiwu, 37, to eliminate competitors in and around the southwestern city of Chengdu, Xinhua said, quoting the Chengdu Business Daily. In 1998, he stabbed to death a friend who had failed to repay a loan, the newspaper said. Then he chopped the body into pieces with a saw and cleaver and boiled the head and hands. Tu said he had felt unsettled after the killings. "However, watching TV and playing computer games helped me calm down," he was quoted as saying. Of his victims, he said, "They are just like me. We all are uncivilised primitives." Tu was arrested when police stormed his room in May last year, Xinhua said. He did not put up a fight. |
