Chinese Man Guilty of Killing Sex Partner

A gay Chinese man received a death sentence Thursday after he was found guilty of killing his German sex partner in July.

According to China Daily, the 21-year-old hotel employee was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve by a court in Zhongshan City in Guangdong province in south China.

The young man began having sex with the 68-year-old German last January, but broke up with him, saying he did not like gay sex. He returned to his rented apartment in July after the ex promised not to harass him.

"But he was nevertheless harassed by the German man the next day despite repeated warnings," reported China Daily. "The young man then hit the German man in the left temple with a hammer and killed him, the court heard."

The victim's body was dismembered and scattered in various places across the city. Neither man's name was revealed.
