BEIJING: Three people were executed here the other day after the largest drugs case to be heard in northeast China’s Liaoning Province.
Ma Min, Yao Hongguo and Li Na were found guilty of smuggling 2,000 methamphetamine pills and 36 kilograms of the drug, the Liaoning Higher People’s Court said.
The three were said to have been involved in the transport of drugs from the southern city of Shenzhen to sell in Liaoning’s Yingkou since 2008. They were arrested while collecting drugs from Yingkou Railway Station in May 2010.
As they were identified as the leaders of a drug gang they were given the death penalty, the court said.
