Huang Hu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Huang Hu (simplified Chinese: 黄湖; traditional Chinese: 黃湖; pinyin: Huáng Hú; 1973 in Wuchuan, Guangdong, China – 3 January 2003 in Zhanjiang, Guangdong, China) was a Chinese criminal who contaminated the salt supply of a kindergarten class with rat poison on 24 November 2002. The adulterated salt was subsequently consumed, and 70 children and two teachers were hospitalized. However, all of them survived. Huang Hu was arrested the following month in December, and sentenced to death on 18 December 2002. Sixteen days later, Huang was executed. Huang was the manager of a less successful rival nursery, and police suspected the attack was motivated by jealousy.[1][2]
