Beijing: A man in
China has been sentenced to three years in jail for helping his
paralysed mother kill herself by consuming pesticide, a court
said.
The 73-year-old woman was suffering from hemiplegia, total or
partial paralysis of one side of the body, for 20 years.
Deng Mingjian, 41, a migrant worker, was sentenced to three years
in jail with a reprieve period of four years for intentional
homicide, Xinhua quoted a Chinese court as saying.
Since Deng was viewed as a "filial son" and took care of his
mother for decades, his neighbours and relatives urged the court
for a lenient punishment.
The court considered Deng's guilty plea and public's appeals in
making its ruling.
