TAIZHOU, Jiangsu - A local court on Saturday sentenced to death a man who attacked and injured 29 children and three adults last month at a Taixing township kindergarten.

Xu Yuyuan is the second to receive the death sentence following five separate attacks on children across the country in less than two months.

The Taizhou Intermediate People's Court found Xu guilty of "intentional homicide" after a half-day open trial, which was attended by some 300 people.
