A woman has received the death sentence for murdering her husband in an
attempt to gain 1.05 million yuan (US$126,860) in insurance claims, reports New
Express News.
Zeng, a resident of Guangzhou's Huadu District, was reported missing on
January 6. His body and motorcycle were discovered in a fish pond a week later.
Police interrogated Deng Xiuqiong, Zeng's wife and the beneficiary of his
1.05-million-yuan life insurance policy.

his body and motorcycle into the pond with the help of a man named Mao Dinggao.
Mao was also sentenced to death by the Guangzhou Intermediate People's
