/ 01:42 PM April 02, 2016

BEIJING — A man who killed nine people and injured nine others in a Chinese nursing home has been sentenced to death.

The official Xinhua News Agency said Saturday that Luo Renchu had gathered bricks and pummeled residents at the home in the central city of Loudi following a dispute with the owners over allegedly unpaid wages.

Citing the Intermediate People’s Court, Xinhua said the attack occurred on Feb. 19, 2015, after the owners failed to pay 40,000 yuan owed to Luo and his wife. Calls to the court and local government offices rang unanswered Saturday.
