TOKYO: Japan on Thursday executed a 40-year-old Chinese man convicted of murdering a family of four, in the country’s first execution of a foreigner since the disclosure of details on sentences carried out began in 2007, the justice ministry said.
Prisoners are hanged in Japan, and the condemned are not told when their execution will take place until the morning of the day the sentence is carried out. — Reuters
