Kebab street vendor who killed two officers in Shenyang is executed

SHENYANG, China, Sept. 25 (UPI) -- A Chinese street vendor who killed two urban management officers and injured another in Shenyang was executed Wednesday, court officials said.

Xia Junfeng, 36, ignored warnings from the officers not to set up a stand in Shenyang, and he began selling kebabs from his business, Xinhua reported.

In 2009, the officers took Xia to their office where an argument broke out.

Xia stabbed the officers, killing Shen Kai and Zhang Xudong and injuring Zhang Wei.

Xia fled the scene, but was soon captured.

In 2009, the court found him guilty of intentional homicide and he was sentenced to death.

He appealed the death sentence, but his attempt was rejected by a higher court.
