A Chinese fortune-teller who predicted he might die in his 50s has been killed by his mistress at the very same age.

The woman took her lover’s life by soaking his underwear with posion, leading to his body rotting.
The man, surnamed Zhou, who worked as a fortune-teller in Nanchong, Sichuan province in southwestern China, became critically ill and was hospitalised in May 2017, just before turning 60.
Despite extensive medical efforts, Zhou finally passed away, and a judicial examination confirmed that he had died from paraquat poisoning.
Paraquat is a highly toxic and fast-acting herbicide, known to be particularly harmful to the lungs, kidneys and liver when absorbed by into the human body.
Zhou had once predicted: “In my 50s, I will face a life-and-death catastrophe”.
