Chinese Man Receives Death Penalty After Imprisoning Women In Dungeon

The Chinese government doesn’t play when it comes to the death penalty…

According to the International Business Times, this lunatic had six women imprisoned, and cops only found out about his dungeon after one of his victims escaped!

A man has been sentenced to death in China for keeping six women in a dungeon as slaves and then murdering two of them.

Li Hao, 35, was found guilty of murder, assault, organized prostitution, illegal detention, and spreading adult films for profit.

He was given the death penalty at the Luoyan Luoyang Intermediate People’s Court in Henan Province, Xinhua news agency has said.

The court heard how Li had dug the dungeon himself under a basement he had bought in Luoyang in 2009. He would trick the women into going there and then kept them prisoner, the court said.

The six women had been imprisoned for between two and 21 months. Li repeatedly assaulted the women, forced them to have intercourse with customers, and made them appear in obscene web shows.

His motive, police said, was to make money by forcing the women into prostitution and appear in his shows.

Two of the women were killed while they were kept in the dungeon. Three more of Li’s prisoners were also found guilty of murder; in one case Li had instructed the women to kill.

The court allowed the women leniency for committing these crimes as they took place under extreme circumstances – one received a three year jail sentence and the other two were put on probation.

Li’s dungeon was discovered after one of his victims escaped and reported her captor to the police.

Prior to his imprisonment, Li had been a clerk for Luoyang’s technological supervision bureau. He was married and had an eight-month-old baby when he was arrested last year.

He’s got some pretty twisted skeletons in his closet.
