"Kindergarten Teacher in China Executed for Poisoning Students, Resulting in 1 Fatality"

A Chinese kindergarten teacher, Wang Yun, who poisoned 25 of her students, killing one, has been executed in central China. Wang was convicted of putting toxic sodium nitrite in porridge served to children following an argument with a colleague. While her motivation was presented as revenge, it remains unclear if she intended to kill or sicken her victims. China has seen a disturbing trend of attacks on young students in recent years, often carried out by mentally disturbed individuals or those with grudges. The country executes more prisoners annually than the rest of the world combined, with most sentences carried out by a bullet to the back of the head.
