[quote=JIMMYB,425882]A Chinese college student stabbed a cyclist six times to death when he was driving his Chevrolet Cruze at about 11 pm on Oct 20 last year. The victim’s name is Zhang Miao, a young mother. He firstly knocked her down and then stabbed her to death after finding her staring at him and trying to remember her car number plate. Yao injured two other passersby, a man and a woman when hurrying to flee the scene.

Yao Jiaxin went on trial last month. Yao’s lawyer defended that Yao killed Zhang “passionately” and he turned himself in so that he should be given a commuted sentence. But the victim’s lawyer insisted Yao killed Zhang intentionally and should be sentenced to death. The trial went on for 3 hours but no judge was made.

His case has caused a heated discussion. Many people believe that Yao Jiaxin has committed a serious crime so that he should be punished seriously too. Few people defend for him and suggest that the death sentence should not be used.

As an ancient Chinese saying goes, those who kill should repay with life. Yao Jiaxin has killed Zhang Miao. He should be sentenced to death.

Do you think he should be sentenced to death？
