廣西賀州稅務局長滅門案三主犯被執行死刑

根據最高人民法院核準，廣西賀州市中級法院24日對廣受關注的“地稅分局局長滅門案”主犯凌小娟、蘇可章、劉勝明等3人執行死刑。

Hezhou (CNS) -- Three people were executed Thursday for the murder of a couple and their two children in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

The killing was masterminded by a woman surnamed Lin, who was the sister of the murdered wife. Relations between the siblings had reportedly soured over finances and other family trifles.

Lin coaxed two of her other relatives to assist in the murder with promises of money.

All three were arrested on May 20, 2011. Along with the husband and wife, Lin and her accomplices killed a 16-year-old girl and 15-year-old boy. The husband was the director of the local taxation office.
