Yao Jiaxin, 21, was put to death in Xian, Shaanxi province in northern China on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Yao is said to have stabbed 26-year-old mother Zhang Miao to death, fearing she would pursue him for compensation after he hit her with his car last October.<\/p>\n<p>The case &#8211; called &#8220;odious&#8221; by the Supreme Court &#8211; sparked a debate about the morality of young people. It caused renewed hand-wringing about the morals of the so-called &#8220;rich second generation&#8221; &#8211; the offspring of those who have prospered with China&#8217;s economic expansion, say correspondents.<\/p>\n<p>Yao&#8217;s parents reportedly worked in China&#8217;s booming defence industries.<br \/>Yao was a student at the Xian Conservatory of Music when he is said to have knocked over Zhang, a waitress, on her bicycle while driving in the city.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports she suffered only minor injuries in the collision but, believing she would report him to the police, Yao stabbed her eight times with a knife and fled the scene.<br \/>&#8216;Peasant woman&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>He is reported to have handed himself in to the authorities four days later, accompanied by his parents. But that was not considered grounds for leniency when he was tried by Xian&#8217;s Intermediate People&#8217;s Court, which convicted and sentenced him to death on 22 April.<\/p>\n<p>Yao confessed he killed Zhang because he feared the &#8220;peasant woman would be hard to deal with&#8221; over the accident, Xinhua said in an earlier report. The high court turned down his appeal and the death sentence was later approved by the Supreme People&#8217;s Court.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Go here to see the original:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> A Chinese student who murdered a woman to try to cover up a road accident has been executed, say state media.
