A Chinese man Thursday was sentenced to death for killing a man in a knife attack near Shanghai last summer. A Japanese mother and her child were also injured on a Japanese school bus in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province.

The Suzhou Intermediate People's Court said the Chinese man named Zhou Jia Sheng, 52, accused of stabbing the three at a Japanese school bus stop in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, on June 24, was "debt-ridden" and did not want to continue living, a government official told reporters in Tokyo.
