A serial killer who cut up his victims and sold their remains as ‘ostrich meat’ on the local market has been executed in southwestChina.
Zhang Yongming, 57, was found guilty of murdering 11 people and selling parts of their flesh, state media reported.
Mr Zhang was known amongst his neighbours in the village as the ”Cannibal Monster’.
Today he was ‘escorted to an execution site and executed’ on Thursday after being sentenced to death in the southwestern city ofKunmingin July, state-run news agency Xinhua said.
Neighbours told a local newspaper that they had seen green plastic bags hanging from his home with what resembled white bones protruding from the top.
Mr Zhang, who ‘cut his victims into pieces to cover his tracks’, had a previous conviction for murder, but was released in 1997.
Upon entering his home police found the ‘eyeball wine’ and human flesh hung up to dry and fear he may have also fed his victims to his dogs, according to Hong King newspaper The Standard.
Although the notoriously secretiveBeijingadministration refuses to publish its execution statistics it is believed to have the highest rates in the world.
The latest report from Amnesty International predicts ‘thousands’ every year, whilst U.S.-based advocacy group the Duihua foundation estimated that 4,000 prisoners were executed in 2011.
