China upholds death sentence for US citizen over murder

BEIJING, 26 August 2022, (TON): A Chinese court upheld the death penalty for a US citizen over the murder of his girlfriend, calling the conviction accurate and sentence appropriate.

Shadeed Abdulmateen had been found guilty in April of stabbing the 21-year-old woman in the face and neck multiple times when they met to talk about disagreements in their relationship.

He appealed against the death sentence handed to him at the time.

But a higher court in eastern China rebuffed Abdulmateen’s appeal, according to an official statement.
