Poison kiss woman sentenced to death

A woman has been sentenced to death for killing her lover with a kiss, having used it to drop a poisoned pellet into his mouth.

Xin Xinfeng and her childhood sweetheart, Mao Ansheng, swore an oath that if either was unfaithful, they would have to die.

Xin took action after she saw her man talking to a woman in a way that made her suspicious, a court in Henan province, central China, was told.

They had arranged to meet the next day at a public bath-house. She filled a plastic pellet with rat poison, hid it under her tongue, and while they were kissing, nudged it into his mouth.

Mao failed to notice it, swallowed it and died shortly afterwards.
