A  student who  stabbed his professor to death in a classroom had admitted he was motivated by revenge after discovering his girlfriend was having an affair with the professor,  media reported yesterday.
Fu Chengli , a senior at the China University of Political Science and Law in Beijing, told police he did not regret slitting  Cheng Chunming's  throat with a kitchen knife, according to a legal magazine run by the Procuratorial Daily.
The killing was intended to give every teacher a  lesson in morals, Fu said - a warning against having affairs with students.
'As a professor he should be a role model for us. But what he did was immoral and totally out of line, and our university had failed to stop it from happening,'  the magazine quoted Fu, 22, as saying.
'So I decided to resolve the issue by my own means; killing him can serve as a warning to 100  potential campus predators ... I am guilty  of my crime but I have no regret for that.'
Fu turned himself in to police on October 28, the day of the murder, and confessed. Police have charged him with intentional  murder, but no court hearing has been scheduled as the prosecutors' office is still investigating the case.
According to the magazine,  the throat-slitting was done in full view of students during an evening class. Fu then calmly called the police and surrendered. The fatal cut was 30cm long and 5cm deep.
The university was shocked by the killing and had formed a mental health team to help students who witnessed it.
Cheng, 43, is survived by his wife, who is now seven months pregnant.
The affair  resulted in Fu and his girlfriend  separating in July.
Fu said he had earlier considered murdering  Cheng's family to cause him suffering because of the affair, which the girlfriend confessed had been going on for a year.
'But I gave up [on the idea]  later because I felt it's immoral and his family is innocent,' he said.
The magazine  said Fu opposed sex before marriage and extramarital affairs. He claimed never to have had sex  with the girl.
