U.K.: Fugitive gets 33 years in brutal slaying of Chinese couple
May 19, 2009
A restaurant worker who lived on the run from immigration authorities was jailed for life today for the murder of a young Chinese couple who let slip details of their secret and highly lucrative betting scam.
Cao Guang Hui, 31, was convicted of strangling, battering and stabbing to death the pair in their flat in Newcastle upon Tyne, almost certainly in a failed attempt to get a share of nearly £250,000.
He was ordered to serve a minimum of 33 years by Mr Justice Wilkie, who described the deaths of Xhi Zhou and Zhen Xing Yang, both 25, as a crime of 'exceptionally high seriousness which would have involved horrifying and barely imaginable suffering'.
