GUANGZHOU - A 36-year-old man who killed two infants after taking drugs was executed on Friday, a court in South China's Guangdong province said.
The Intermediate People's Court in the city of Zhongshan sentenced Huang Mingxing to death on charges of hacking two babies to death after taking drugs.
Huang was under the influence of crystal meth when he killed the babies.
He said the drug caused him to hallucinate that the two families would kill him, so he decided to strike first.
The court, however, found he was of a clear mind when he committed the killings.
Huang did not appeal his sentence.
