Zhang Bo threw his children from a 15th-floor window to marry his new partner. His new partner Ye Chengchen did not know that he was still married and had children.
When she found out, however, she decided to continue the relationship. The couple was sentenced to death the first time, then again on appeal last year. China reduced the number of crimes punishable by death from 55 to 46 in 2015. These still include intentional homicide, rape and drug trafficking, but now exclude pimping or arms smuggling.
