Henan ‘Kiss Killer’ Sentenced to Death
What do you do when your man is untrue? Lil’ Kim would tell you to “cut the sucka’ off and find someone new.” A Henan woman, Xia Xinfeng, took much more extreme measures earlier this year when she killed her lover, Mao Ansheng, with a kiss. Tuesday, a Henan province court sentenced her to death. If you’re thinking she had some horribly contagious disease or bit out his tongue or even a deadly case of bad breath, you’d be wrong. The Shanghai Daily reported Wednesday, “When they dated on January 9, Xia held a capsule with rat poison in her mouth and passed it to Mao’s mouth during a kiss. Mao swallowed the capsule and died soon after.” In case this wasn’t clear, she held a capsule full of rat poison in her mouth and then passed it to her boyfriend during a kiss. I’m guessing there was a lot of tongue involved, but that is neither here nor there. Reportedly, the couple had an agreement whereby if either person was unfaithful to the other, the cheater would have to die. Xia claimed in court that she found her boyfriend “talking with another woman” the day before and did what any logical person would do. She killed him the next day. I’m thinking that while Xia certainly deserves a harsh penalty for the murder, she should definitely get some points for creativity. And for keeping up her end of her and her lover’s agreement. While Xia was found guilty of murder, it is still unknown whether or not Mao was guilty of cheating on his lover.
