Chinese woman jailed for killing lover who told her to hit him and not break up

A woman in China has been sentenced to 11 years in jail for causing the intentional injury of her boyfriend after she banged his head against a wall, causing his death.

The woman, identified by the alias Ajuan, said she beat her boyfriend after he asked to hurt him in a bid to save their relationship after she suggested they break-up, according to the news outlet chinanews.com.

Ajuan and her boyfriend, known as Aqiang, lived in a rented house in Taiyuan, the capital city of Shanxi province in northern China. It is not clear how long they had been in a relationship.

Ajuan said she had proposed splitting up many times because of Aqiang’s record of hiring prostitutes and lying to her. But he always begged her to stay and hurt himself to make his point.

Ajuan once rubbed chopsticks on his chest and on another occasion burned a plastic spoon before letting the melted liquid drop onto his belly and thigh, leaving him with slight injuries.
