A 23-year-old university student in China will be executed after hanging two prostitutes and having sex with their corpses.
The student, whose surname is Lee, told police that he had been failing a lot of classes and called the prostitutes to help relieve the pressure.
He also told detectives that he used to have fantasies about having sex with dead bodies and could no longer resist the urge.
He hired a 20-year-old prostitute called Cai on March 6 through the internet, hanged her and had her body shipped back to his house where he had sex with the corpse.
Cai's body was dismembered and the parts buried in Lee’s garden.
On March 23 he again carried out the act on the body of another prostitute that he’d hanged and shipped home.
A forensic psychiatrist determined that Lee wasn’t insane and was criminally responsible for the crimes.
He was found guilty and was sentenced to death by the court. It also ordered him to pay 80,000 yuan (£8,000) in compensation to the victims’ families.
