A Chinese kindergarten teacher was sentenced to death for poisoning 25 children and killing one. Local media reported it, the BBC reports.
Wang Yun was arrested last year after children from a kindergarten in Jiaozuo City, east central China, were rushed to hospital after eating porridge. Today the court explained that the woman put sodium nitrate in the children’s breakfast followed by a colleague of hers in revenge after an argument. A substance that is often used as a food additive to flavor meat, but can be toxic in large quantities.
It was not the first time that Ms. Wang had poisoned people, the court added, referring to an earlier incident in which she bought nitrate online and poisoned her husband, who suffered minor injuries. Her conduct was described as “despicable and cruel”.
The incident, which took place on March 27 last year, shocked China and the news had gone around the world.
