May 11th, 2012 - 10:53 pm ICT by IANSBeijing, May 11 (IANS) A 50-year-old man was executed in Beijing Friday for killing two and injuring 14 others in a stabbing spree in the Chinese capital in 2009.
Zhang Jianfei, from northeast Jilin province, was found guilty of endangering public security in Beijing’s Dashila area Sep 17, 2009, Xinhua reported.
Tourists, security guards and roadside salesmen were among the victims.
Zhang, a former worker at a primary school in Jilin, blamed his actions on him becoming emotionally distraught while looking for a job.

Zhang’s death penalty was announced by a court in November 2010.
