The Lincang (Yunnan Province) Intermediate Court sentenced former police officer Meng Zhonghua and four co-defendants, including his wife, Xie Hui, to death for allegedly smuggling and trafficking narcotics, firearms and explosives. Prosecutors accused Meng of using public security vehicles to transport a total of 9.8kg of heroin smuggled from Myanmar to Kunming, Yunnan. It is unclear if any of the defendants will appeal their sentences.
