Death for man who crushed wife, mother-in-law under wheels

A 31-year-old man in central Hunan Province was sentenced to death for killing his wife and mother-in-law with a car because they had a dispute over divorce, Hunan Morning Post reported today.

Ding Daili became estranged from his wife Xiao Ying, who on July 17 last year went to Ding's home with her mother Li Meirong and her elder brother Xiao Jian to reach a divorce agreement, according to the police in Changsha, the provincial capital.

After that, Ding was about to drive away from his home and he was stopped again by Xiao and her family as they demanded Ding to return Xiao's ID card and salary card. Ding was enraged by their abusing language and mowed them down with his car.

Xiao and her mother were killed instantly and two other men at the scene were slightly injured, Changsha police said.
