Woman kills lover with ‘kiss of death’

A news paper said today that a Chinese woman who killed her lover with a rat poison-laced kiss when she suspected him of being unfaithful after seeing him with another woman, has been sentenced to death for the murder of her lover.

Xia Xinfeng, from Maolou in the central province of Henan, had arranged to meet her lover Mao Ansheng at a public bathhouse. She then passed a capsule with rat poison from her mouth to her long-time lover, Mao Ansheng, during a kiss.

She claims that couple had made a promise if either one of them cheated on the other, he or she would have to die.
