China on Tuesday executed a man who held six women as sex slaves in an underground prison and killed two of them, state news agency, Xinhua, reported.
Li Hao, 36, was convicted of murder and rape in Luoyang Intermediate People's Court in the central province of Henan in 2012.
Li, a former local government employee, kidnapped six nightclub and karaoke bar workers in 2011 and repeatedly raped them in a self-built dungeon.
Two of the six were found dead when a 23-year-old woman escaped and led police to the dungeon.
Li forced them all into prostitution and filmed them in pornographic videos he put on the internet, Xinhua said, adding that Li also instructed three women to kill two of the other captives.
The three women were found guilty of murder but were given lenient sentences as one was jailed for three years and two were put on probation, Xinhua added.
"According to details revealed by the police, Li's motive was to make money by forcing the women into prostitution or to appear in obscene webcasts," the report said.
