The 23-year-old son, surnamed Lu, and his friend, identified as Yang, were sentenced to death for intentional killing.
Another man, Cheng, was sentenced to seven years in jail for assisting in the crime.
The verdict was handed down by Taizhou Intermediate People’s Court in eastern Zhejiang province in April but was only made public recently, the news outlet The Paper reported.
