BEIJING (Kyodo) -- A Chinese court sentenced a man to death on Friday for fatally stabbing a 10-year-old Japanese boy last September in Shenzhen, Japan's government said, a day after another court handed down the same penalty in another knife attack involving Japanese citizens.
At the first hearing on the case, the Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court convicted the Chinese man of killing the boy in the Sept. 18 knife attack near a Japanese school in the southern city, Japanese Ambassador to China Kenji Kanasugi told reporters.
