REUTERS/Toby MelvilleA Chinese court has sentenced a woman who poisoned 25 kindergarten learners in March 2019 in China’s Jiaozuo city to death. The woman, identified as Ms Wang, is accused of putting sodium nitrite in the porridge which was consumed by her colleague’s students. The court found Wang to have committed a serious and diabolical crime which required the most severe punishment to be meted. Surprisingly, the crime using sodium nitrite is not the first for Wang. The court said that in a past incident, she had purchased the chemical online and poisoned her husband who later sustained minor injuries.
