A Chinese man was executed on Friday for raping and killing a teenage girl whom his pregnant wife had lured into their home.

The man, Bai Yunjiang, was sentenced to death for rape, murder and robbery in a closed-door hearing at the juvenile court in Jiamusi, Heilongjiang province, last June. His wife, Tan Beibei, was given life imprisonment.

The couple’s 17-year-old victim, Hu Yixuan, had been lured into their home in Huanan county by the then-pregnant Tan in July 2013.

Tan had feigned a stomachache and asked the girl to help her home as it was raining, according to court hearings released by state media.
