Infant-killing mum gets 10 years ( 2003-12-12 17:17) (China Daily)
A mother who killed her newborn daughter by throwing her from a toilet on
board a fast-moving train was sentenced to 10 years in jail in Guangzhou on
Tuesday, reports Southern Metropolis News.
Yang Huiping, 28, who had given birth to a son four years earlier, said she
killed her infant daughter because she was afraid of being fined for violating
the family planning policy.
Yang, who comes from a farmer's family in Hunan Province, followed her
husband to find work in Guangdong.
She returned home by train when she was nine months pregnant in August.
But she went into labour and delivered the child in a bathroom on the train
during the journey
