SANYA, Oct. 19 (Xinhua) -- A drug trafficker was executed Friday in south China's Hainan Province for selling and transporting 30 kg of drugs.

According to investigators, in March 2016, the main culprit surnamed Chen asked his parents to transfer a box loaded with 10 kg of methamphetamine to a bus driver, who then transported the drugs to Chen's cousin surnamed Zheng. Zheng then distributed the drugs to other localities in Hainan.

In the same month, Chen asked his mother to transfer another 19.78 kg of meth to Zheng, who was then caught by police.

Chen was sentenced to death by the Sanya City Intermediate People's Court in June 2017, while Chen's parents and cousin received life sentences. Enditem
