Chinese man gets death for killing wife, hiding body in freezer for over 100 days

A court in China’s Shanghai on Friday upheld the death sentence given to a man for killing his wife and hiding her body in a deep freezer for over 100 days.

Zhu Xiaodong, 30, spent nearly 150,000 yuan (USD 21,800) from his wife Yang Liping’s credit card on traveling with another woman for “trying to forget about the killing”, state-run China Daily reported. Yang, 30, was the only child of her parents.

Zhu appealed against the death sentence handed down by the Shanghai No 2 Intermediate People’s Court in August.
